News: Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis did not practice again Friday and will be used only "in a limited fashion" if he is able to play Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The NFL's second-leading rusher was able to watch practice -- unlike Wednesday and Thursday, when his sprained left knee kept him away from the field -- and was "getting some mental reps in case he has a chance to go," according to coach Jim Zorn. Portis sprained the knee in the 23-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers before last week's bye. He is questionable on the injury report. "I would use him, if he could go, in a limited fashion," Zorn said. Portis' backup, Ladell Betts, is probable after missing three games with a sprained knee. Betts was limited in practice Friday.

News: Redskins running back Clinton Portis was unable to practice because of a sprained knee, and coach Jim Zorn said Portis is "50-50" for Sunday night's game against Dallas. Portis bruised his knee on the final play of the first quarter of last week's 23-6 loss to the Steelers, but returned for the next series and finished the game. The pain got progressively worse after treatment following the game, however, and Zorn said Monday that Portis has a bone bruise on the femur as well as a sprain. "He's questionable," Zorn said. "I'd say there's a 50-50 chance. I'm hoping that he'll be even better than that. Another day of rest, and then we'll see how he comes in on Wednesday. ... We've got to get the pain out of the knee and see how he progresses along." [...]
