Gathered from the local media here in D.C...

This may have already been mentioned, but Portis says he's only at 75% and won't play till he's close to 100%. If I were a betting man, I'd bet he'll miss next week too.

Springs doesn't look good for next week either.

I really wonder how bad Portis is hurt? His tackle where he got hurt was really an awesome looking play, but the aftermath has sent shock waves.

I do remember one poster guaranteeing he would play though. ;)

I think he's hurt more than they've let on. Until today's "75%" comment, they haven't given any indication of how he's coming along... and how could they? They have no idea how he's going to be until he takes his first hit. You can't protect your shoulder when you're a running back, can you?

So what does 75% mean? Does that mean he's still experiencing pain? Sounds like it. And if he's still experiencing pain, then how bad will it be when he starts taking hits?

I think this'll be a problem all year long.

Actually, Portis practiced in pads today in contact drills. If Portis is not 100%, most Skins fans hope that he doesn't play this week. My guess is that he will play his first game in Week 2.

All indications are that Springs will not play.

In all likelyhood, Springs is out until week 4, according to the Post and sports radio in D.C.

According to the Post, he wore pads and participated in some drills, but says nothing about "contact."

My hunch is that Gibbs just trotted him out there in his playing gear to keep the Vikes guessing. Not a bad idea.

He needs to suck it up when his team needs him.

Youre crazy if you dont think Portis doesnt want to play. Theres this little thing called a shoulder injury keeping him from being 100% right now. Him and the coaches will decide what is best for the team.

That's why he posted the pic of Emmitt man. Or are you too young to remember the final game of 1993 and Emmitt gaining 168 yards rushing and 61 receiving with a separated shoulder?

Learn the game before you shoot off your mouth.
