Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins
Redskins placed RB Clinton Portis on injured reserve.
A recent MRI on Portis' groin revealed only swelling, and he had expressed optimism that he could play in Week 12, but it was never a realistic possibility. His Redskins career is almost certainly over, as he's due a $8.254 million salary in 2011 and is sure to be cut over the offseason. Keiland Williams will be the team's No. 1 back for the time being, though we expect Ryan Torain (hamstring) and James Davis to factor into the mix, as well.
