I was looking for information on this myself today and really couldn't seem to find anything recent on the injury or how the rehab is progressing. Hopefully, someone in the DC area will be able to add some local flavor if anything is being heard in that region.
I'll have to miss it. Please post important points, whoever watches.
Thank you Moose Knuckle!
I think I'm glad I passed on him...
I had this injury before and was back in actaion in about a month/month in hlaf with no problems afterwards what so ever.
I think it all depends how "far" it was dislocated. Also, I didn't take a month off. I kept playing, in fact after the shoulder dislocated, I just played the rest of the game and the shoulder continued to make all kinds of noises, etc. 5 weeks later it totally dislocated and a doctor had to put it back into place.I was surprised to hear that Portis had this injury in high school and I still wonder if his shoulder injury at the end of last year is to this same shoulder.Regardless, I bet Portis gets some work done on that shoulder in the offseason.
It seems to me that this quote says he believes the preseason is plenty of time to heal. You would think that he understands the importance of Week 1, and believes he'll be there when he's needed.Am I reading to much into this?
The high school injury was the other shoulder.
As a Skins fan, I'd love to have Duckett for short yardage/goaline work.As a fan of Portis's fantasy value, I'm
At what point does his value/risk become impossible to pass on? This guy is so talented and I think everything was pointing towards him blowing up this season.(prior to the injury) I'm just nervous about pulling the trigger with my first round pick on a guy who could be battling this all year.
Given the acquisition of Duckett, I think Portis is now entering a potential Barber-like situation. Except that he's not nearly the threat out of the backfield. However, 9 of Portis' 16 rushing TDs over the past two seasons have come from 4 yards or more. He also had 2 receiving TDs and 2 passing TDs in that span. So that's 13 TD's (2 of which are passes) of 4+ yards for Portis in 2004-05 to Tiki's 15 TD's of 4+ yards during the same seasons.Exactly where to slot Portis still depends on your league scoring methods. To me, Portis clearly slides below Tiki, S.Jax, and Rudi Johnson given the injury and trade for Duckett. He's somewhere in the vicinity of E.James, R.Brown, L.Jordan, C.Williams. If this is actually true, then Portis cannot be considered value until roughly the 10-11 pick of a draft at the earliest. Sure, a case can be made for drafting him earlier, but I wouldn't call it "value" as my previous post postulates.
Dodds moved him down to RB28!Given the acquisition of Duckett, I think Portis is now entering a potential Barber-like situation. Except that he's not nearly the threat out of the backfield.

That ranking is silly to me. If he's that bad off that his play is affected that much, they'll just rest him and play Betts and Duckett meaning that he's a lot worse than RB28. I'd expect to find him between RB8 and RB15 at the end of the season if he does come back this year from the injury.Dodds moved him down to RB28!Given the acquisition of Duckett, I think Portis is now entering a potential Barber-like situation.

Seems like a tad bit overreaction. One thing lacking from my previous post is the uncertainty factor concerning the injury. I'm not even referring to the potential of missed games, but rather the potential for this to be a nuisance and threat to playing time all season long. Under that expectation, then I can see dropping him to the 15-20 range but even then there's no way I see him as 28th.Dodds moved him down to RB28!Given the acquisition of Duckett, I think Portis is now entering a potential Barber-like situation.
