Clinton Portis' ankle injury not severe

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan indicated that the ankle sprain suffered by Clinton Portis in the team's third preseason game is not serious.

"I don't think it's too serious," said Shanahan. It's not a big setback. I would anticipate him being able to practice in a couple of days." Two weeks should be enough time for Portis to be ready for Week 1, but he remains a poor bet to stay healthy this season. He's a long shot for more than 14 starts.

Portis will not play in Thursday's preseason finale at Arizona.

Neither Portis nor quarterback Donovan McNabb participated in practice on Monday. But both seemed to be walking around on their sore ankles without much problem.

"Still getting treatment," Coach Mike Shanahan said. "We'll take this day by day."
