John Jansen just said it as he was the guess.

I would guess he won't play.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

He'll play.

Shenanigans, all of this.

Appearing on John Thompson's D.C. area radio show, Clinton Portis revealed that his knee injury is a second-degree MCL sprain.

Portis said the pain increased late last week, which led to another examination and the sprain diagnosis. He's hoping to play Sunday against the Cowboys, but it's not a good sign that he can't even bend his knee right now. Don't expect Portis to practice until Friday at the earliest, and he's likely to be a game-time decision in a best-case scenario. Coach Jim Zorn said that Ladell Betts (knee) has a better chance than Portis to play this week.

Commanders coach Jim Zorn expects Ladell Betts (knee) to return to practice this week with an eye toward playing Sunday.

"He's probably in a little bit better position to be active as the week goes on [vs. Portis]. He is nowhere 100 percent yet, but I think he looks like he's gonna participate in practice," said Zorn. Portis owners should pick up Betts for the long haul, but Sunday's game looks like a committee approach with Shaun Alexander and Rock Cartwright.

Usually i like to see us play a team at its strongest, but not this season.

Take it for what it is. You still need to execute no matter who is on the field.

I call shenanigans on this one, he'll play

 

[alby]

This takes the foreskins out of the playoff race

next 3
cowboys
giants
ravens

 

[cowboyjoe]

i think he will play, but he sure wont be 100 percent, in fact if they do play him, if he gets hit, he might fumble, which would be good for us

Sunday nite against us, I still see him playing and Dallas needs to game plan for him and Betts

Guys, you can agree or disagree with me but as an athlethic trainer myself, putting Portis in with an MCL sprain could lead to a torn ACL.

IMO, I think that this isn't a fake report and think Portis doesn't play.

welp. That's to bad. Hate to hear those kinds of things.

No doubt!!!! He won't miss this game. The BOYZ are coming to town in primetime on sunday nite football. They need this game just as we do, they don't wanna lose back to back games at home...

That's a bad injury, guys, I would be shocked if he played.

it doesn't matter if they trot out Willie Blade at running back

unless our run defense wakes the **** up, Willie Blade, or whoever, will still put up 200 yards on us.
