Clinton Portis is still hoping to play tonight, though that's nothing to get excited about. Players tend to be the first to declare that they'll definitely be on the field, so it seems that even Portis realizes he's unlikely to be in there because of his sprained knee. Ladell Betts should get the start in his place but is a risky fantasy option in his first game back from his own knee injury. Portis owners who also happen to have Jamal Lewis could try to wait until tonight for official word on Portis. Most should go with someone else, though. (SportsBuff.com) |
