Clinton PortisSince the Washington Redskins lost to the St. Louis Rams last Sunday, star running back Clinton Portis has not practiced with the team.
He's suffering from a hip flexor, a minor injury that will not keep him out of Sunday's game, according to coach Jim Zorn.
Zorn added, though, that Portis likely would not practice with the team until Saturday's walkthrough before Sunday afternoon's game against Cleveland.
With backup running back Ladell Betts injured, the team signed former league MVP Shaun Alexander this week to back up Portis. Alexander will be ready to play on Sunday, his first game of the NFL season.
