Testy Gibbs Says Portis To Play Backup On Monday
Oct 23, 2014 4:51 AM
In a surprise announcement, coach Joe Gibbs said Saturday he thinks Clinton Portis will be a backup in the Redskins' Monday night opener against the Vikings.
Gibbs was testy as he wrapped up a week of mystery over whether his star running back had recovered sufficiently from a partially left dislocated shoulder. Portis was upgraded from questionable to probable on the injury report, although Ladell Betts remains set to start.
