| Player Notes |
| December 21, 2007 Clinton Portis (stomach flu) was back at practice Thursday after sitting the previous day. He probably won't find a lot of running room at Minnesota Sunday night, but look for him to get his normal workload. |
| December 20, 2007 Redskins running back Clinton Portis and wide receiver Santana Moss did not practice on Wednesday due to the stomach flu, the Washington Post. |
| December 2, 2007 Clinton Portis left Sunday's game against Buffalo late in the fourth quarter with an apparent ankle injury. He carried 25 times for 50 yards and a score prior to his departure. The severity of the injury is unclear at this point, but the ailment could come into play, as the Redskins have a short week in Week 14, playing the Bears on Thursday. |
| November 30, 2007 Redskins running back Clinton Portis (back) and wide receiver Santana Moss (heel) are listed as probable for Week 13, the Washington Post reports. The news is not as positive for wide receiver Antwaan Randle El, who is questionable due to a lingering hamstring injury. Fullback Mike Sellers (back) and wide receiver James Thrash (ankle) will be out. |
| November 29, 2007 Clinton Portis did not practice on Wednesday due to a sore back. He is expected to go on Thursday, the Washington Post reports. |
| November 4, 2007 Clinton Portis put together his first 100-yard rushing effort of the year on Sunday against the Jets, running for 196 yards and a touchdown on 36 carries. Portis had not tallied more than 72 rushing yards since Week 1, so this performance is a relief for owners who had begun souring on the tailback. He's currently on pace for 1,259 rushing yards and 12 TDs. |
| October 30, 2007 Clinton Portis bruised his hand during the Week 8 loss to the Patriots, but he is expected to practice all week and play in Week 9, the team's official web site reports. |
| October 19, 2007 Clinton Portis spent the offseason rehabbing shoulder and hand surgeries and dealing with knee tendinitis. He did not play during the preseason. Because of all the time off, Portis tells the Washington Post on Thursday, "I do feel like I'm finally getting back in football shape." He is averaging 4.2 yards-per-carry and ranks 21st in the NFL with 363 rushing yards. |
| October 5, 2007 Clinton Portis practiced on his sore knee Thursday and appears ready to go for Sunday's game with Detroit, the AP reports. |
| October 4, 2007 Clinton Portis was limited but did take part in individual drills and some team work on Wednesday. "Clinton will be fine," head coach Joe Gibbs tells the team's official web site. "I feel good that it's not tendonitis, which I was worried it had flared up and could go weeks and weeks. This, I think, is just a [bruise on a] different spot and I think we're okay there. I think he'll take more [practice] as the week goes. It's not a sprain." Portis injured his right knee in Week 3. Previous reports ruled out tendinitis but did call it a sprain. |
| October 2, 2007 Clinton Portis is not currently dealing with knee tendinitis, as coach Joe Gibbs said on Monday. Portis has a bruise and a Grade-1 sprain of his right knee, director of sports medicine Bubba Tyer informs the Washington Post. The running back is day-to-day, and Tyer believes Portis will play in Week 5. |
| October 2, 2007 Clinton Portis was limited in practice Monday despite a full week to rest after a bye because of concern over his persistently ailing knee, the AP reports. "His knee is still a little agitated and we'll see how it goes this week," Joe Gibbs said. "It was just a soreness that came out of that (Giants) game." |
| September 14, 2007 Clinton Portis was listed as limited in practice on Thursday, but the reason was that the coaches gave him some time off, the Washington Times notes. We fully expect him to start in Week 2. |
| September 9, 2007 As expected, Clinton Portis was active and started Sunday's game. Also, as expected, he and Ladell Betts split the workload - literally - as each had 17 carries. However, Portis proved not only that he was in good shape after missing the whole preseason with a sore knee, but also that he's more talented than Betts. Portis scored a touchdown and averaged 5.8 yards for 98 total rushing yards, while Betts averaged 3.5 for 59 and failed to score. Betts is going to continue to split the workload to some extent, at least until Portis proves he's healthy and able to stay that way. |
| September 9, 2007 As expected, Clinton Portis is active and will start on Sunday against the Dolphins. He missed the entire preseason due to right knee tendinitis, but he has been practicing for over a week. Ladell Betts is the primary backup. |
| September 7, 2007 Clinton Portis spoke to the media on Thursday and assured everyone that he's ready for the season opener. "I've been through four full practices, no limitations. I feel fine," he tells the team's official web site. Portis missed the entire preseason due to right knee tendinitis. Is he ready to handle the workload? "Yeah I think I can handle any work load given to me," Portis explains. "Whatever they give me, that's what I'm going to handle." |
| September 6, 2007 Clinton Portis practiced fully on Wednesday, and the signs continue to be very positive. "Clinton has been taking the work, starting last week," head coach Joe Gibbs tells the team's official web site. "I think the best thing he can do is practice. He's done that. I don't think we've had any flare-ups or anything. Hopefully we made the right decision and got that thing healed up." Portis missed the entire preseason due to right knee tendinitis. |
| September 4, 2007 Clinton Portis practiced on Monday, and he will start in the season opener. However, Ladell Betts will take a share of the carries. Portis missed all four preseason games due to right knee tendinitis. "He'll start off and he and Ladell will take the load," head coach Joe Gibbs tells the team's official web site. |
| August 30, 2007 Clinton Portis suited up prior to Thursday's preseason game and stretched with teammates, but he did not play, the Washington Post notes. Portis practiced on Tuesday for the first time since July 30. He has been out due to right knee tendinitis. |
| August 29, 2007 Clinton Portis practiced on Tuesday, the first time he's taken the field since July 30. He has been out due to right knee tendinitis. Portis participated in all drills on Tuesday and could see a few carries in Thursday's preseason finale. "Hopefully I showed them enough in practice where I ain't got to play on Thursday, but if (coach Gibbs) asks me to play and if I got to play, then okay," Portis tells the Washington Post. |
| August 28, 2007 Clinton Portis will increase his practice activity on Tuesday and could see a little action in Thursday's preseason game. "He is going to take a lot more work this week," head coach Joe Gibbs tells the team's official web site. "The medical team feels like that is the right thing to do at this point. We are going to up his workload. Then we'll see what happens when it comes down to game time." Portis has been dealing with right knee tendinitis since nearly the start of training camp. "He is making progress," Gibbs adds. "Hopefully, what we have done is the smart thing in giving him a long rest period, getting him totally healed so it is not a nagging thing from week to week." |
| August 22, 2007 Clinton Portis isn't practicing yet, but he did put on shoulder pads and participate in individual drills on Tuesday. He has basically been out the entire training camp due to right knee tendinitis. "We're getting closer," head coach Joe Gibbs tells the team's official web site. "He took a little bit of straight-line work out there [on Tuesday]. It's something that we're taking time with. It's not something we like, but it's where we are." Ladell Betts has been starting in his place. |
| August 13, 2007 Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs tells the team's official web site that Clinton Portis is "on the right track" as he recovers from right knee tendinitis. Portis met with Dr. James Andrews over the weekend. "The report back to me was that they think [Portis's knee] is getting better for sure," Gibbs says. "They think we are doing the right things." Portis does not have a timetable for his return. |
| August 10, 2007 Clinton Portis will travel with the team to Tennessee, but he won't play in Saturday's preseason opener. He is still dealing with right knee tendinitis that flares up and causes swelling when he cuts, the Washington Post reports. While in Nashville, Portis will visit with Dr. James Andrews as a precaution. The running back is working to build up the strength and flexibility around the joint. |
| August 9, 2007 Clinton Portis remained out of practice on Wednesday, the Washington Times reports. He is dealing with right knee tendinitis and has barely participated in camp due to the ailment. Portis is day-to-day. |
| August 5, 2007 A recent MRI exam of Clinton Portis ailing right knee showed nothing more than tendonitis. Coach Joe Gibbs told the Washington Post Portis could have played during Saturdays scrimmage had it been a regular season game. |
| August 3, 2007 Clinton Portis will not participate in this Saturday's scrimmage against the Baltimore Ravens. He is dealing with tendinitis in his right knee. "I keep on having setbacks, so right now I'm just trying to get strength back in it," Portis tells the team's official web site. "If we had a game today, I could play. I'm not injured [bad] or anything. My knee is not even swelling up. When I make a subtle movement on it or a cut or I stop on a dime, it flares up again." |
| August 1, 2007 Clinton Portis will not practice on Wednesday and may not be back on the field until next week. He is experiencing more swelling in his right knee. Director of sports medicine Bubba Tyer tells the Washington Post that Portis is "days" away from returning, not "weeks." |
| August 1, 2007 The tendinitis in Clinton Portis' knee has returned. The Redskins running back did not practice on Tuesday due to swelling in his right knee. Head coach Joe Gibbs tells the Washington Post that Portis is day-to-day. |
| July 25, 2007 Clinton Portis ran 16 100-yard dashes earlier in the week at his normal time, a great indication that his knee tendonitis is behind him, the Washington Post reports. |
| June 16, 2007 Clinton Portis was able to take part in some light drills on Friday, while wearing a helmet and pads, according to the Washington Post. He wasn't supposed to work out at all during the Redskins' minicamp, so this looks like a good sign. He's recovering from hand and shoulder surgeries and will be one of the bigger risk/reward draft picks this season. |
| June 6, 2007 Clinton Portis won't participate in the June 15-17 minicamp, but he expects to be ready for training camp. Portis underwent surgery on November 13 to stabilize a broken bone in his right hand and another operation on December 5 to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He is also dealing with tendonitis in one of his knees. Director of sports medicine Bubba Tyer tells the Washington Post that Portis is progressing well. "I'll definitely be ready for training camp," Portis claims. |
| June 6, 2007 Clinton Portis apologized on Tuesday for comments he previously made about dogfighting. "A couple of weeks ago, when I made those comments I didn't understand the seriousness behind it," Portis tells the Washington Post. "I didn't know it would affect that many people, and didn't think what I said was that offensive. But after doing some research and seeing how serious people take this, I shouldn't have made the comments." |
| May 25, 2007 Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs discussed the state of Clinton Portis on Thursday. Most of the talk centered around Portis' recent, controversial words, but Gibbs added that he's not too worried about this running back's knee, according to the Washington Post. Portis is dealing with tendonitis. Gibbs says Portis will rest until the tendonitis is gone, and they are trying to get him ready for training camp. |
| May 18, 2007 Clinton Portis has tendonitis in his knee, and the injury flared up last week. Portis visited Dr. James Andrews in Alabama on Wednesday. "He has had some soreness in his knee, but he said he could run and work out on it," head coach Joe Gibbs explains to the team's official web site. "He's on his weight [training] program. We'll see how the running goes. We'll see how quickly we can get him back." The ailment is not believed to be serious. |
