Clinton Portis is
questionable at this point and his chances of
facing Dallas on Sunday are "50-50," Coach Jim
Zorn said after practice today. Portis has a knee
sprain that has worsened since the team last
played Nov. 3.
Zorn remains optimistic that Portis will play, but
conceded that "it would be a major issue for all of
us," if he cannot. Zorn said that second-string back
Ladell Betts may be back from his knee injury for
Sunday's game, but that he is not "expecting" that
result.
Should the Redskins be without Betts and Portis, Zorn
said RB Rock Cartwright would continue to return kicks,
but would have some of his other special teams work
curtailed given the shortage of available runners. If
Betts returns and Portis is out, Zorn said Betts would
play ahead of Shaun Alexander, but that it very well
could be " a community position."
Santana Moss's hamstring is still "a little tentative,"
but Zorn said he expects Moss to play Sunday.
