Clinton PortisWashington's Clinton Portis spent Wednesday in the training room trying to get ready for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He remains a game-time decision, but coach Jim Zorn sounded more optimistic than he did earlier in the week.
Why?
"Well, today he could straighten out his leg,'' Zorn said after Wednesday's practice at Redskins Park. "It was hip, hip hooray.''
Portis has a second-degree sprain of a medial collateral ligament in his left knee. He injured the knee in the loss to Pittsburgh earlier this month but continued to play.
"He's going to go if he can,'' Zorn said. "But it would be foolish for us to put him out there if he's 60 or 70 percent.''
