Washington Times: Portis slowed by knee soreness
Posted: Sat May 19, 2007 12:44 am
Already trying to rehabilitate shoulder and hand injuries, Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis now has to deal with a knee problem.
Portis missed the team's offseason workouts Wednesday and yesterday to travel to Birmingham, Ala., where he was examined by Dr. James Andrews and diagnosed with patella tendinitis.
"It cropped up at the end of last week," coach Joe Gibbs said. "He had some soreness in the knee, but he described that he could run and work out on it and it would be fine the next day. This week it bothered him after the workout day so we decided to have it looked at."

Portis should not play until the regular season. The guy needs the rest. He's only 25, but man...thats a lot of wear and tear on his body. Glad we kept Betts.
