Portis saw the same doctors who examined Eagles back Brian Westbrook, who has suffered two concussions in the last month. Portis was hurt two weeks ago against Atlanta, did not play last week against Denver and has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Dallas. "We're going to make sure we take care of all the details. We're for Clinton getting well," coach Jim Zorn said. "Each day Clinton's done a great job of communicating how he's felt, and that's what it's going to take. I want to be involved with those conversations, not so much to see 'how fast can we get him back,' but just to make sure the young man is improving and getting better."

Coach Jim Zorn stopped short of ruling Clinton Portis out for Sunday's game at Dallas, but he said the Redskins' star running back is "very doubtful" to play. "But I don't want to count him out," Zorn said Wednesday after practice. Portis wasn't present at practice and is at risk of missing his second game since suffering a concussion - the second of his career -- on Nov. 8 in Atlanta. Zorn said Portis worked out early Wednesday morning -- to get "a little sweat going," Zorn said -- and Portis experienced some blurriness. Portis attended the weekly team meeting but left Redskins Park to visit a Washington doctor and missed the running backs' position meeting. Zorn laid out a timeline that makes it seem very doubtful Portis will be ready for action against the Cowboys. Even if he stops experiencing symptoms, coaches want to wait a full 24 hours and retest him before allowing him to practice. "I would be very cautious," even after Portis received medical clearance to play, Zorn said.Zorn said he definitely wants Portis to take part in practice before Sunday's game. "Him not practicing is also very key for me because I want to see him go," Zorn said. (The Washington Post)

FF Today's Take: Betts was more than a worthy replacement last Sunday facing a Broncos defense that was allowing an average of just 97.0 yards per game, as he rushed for 114 yards and a TD to boot. He'll look to continue that success against the Cowboys 9th ranked run defense, who've allowed just 4 TDs on the ground this year. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Clinton_Portis/652104 652104 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:15:01 EDT fftoday.com 1 days 9 hours 13 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Clinton_Portis/652104 Portis, who has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Dallas, was at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Friday to have his concussion evaluated, Associated Press reports.

Our View: Portis seems miles away from the field right now, and you have to wonder if he is going to play at all again in 2009. Ladell Betts is the team's indefinite feature back. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Clinton_Portis/651113 651113 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:00:02 EDT fanball.com 1 days 16 hours 28 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Clinton_Portis/651113 Coach Jim Zorn has ruled Portis (concussion) out for Sunday's game at Dallas, the Associated Press reports.
