August 14th-- Portis in the opener?

Clinton Portis flew to Birmingham, AL to see Dr. James Andrews.. He has been told to rest his shoulder until the soreness is out of it and then he will begin rehab.. The team remains hopeful that he will be able to play in the season opener…
Ladell Betts is expected to be able to return to full go practice this week and becomes the lead back in Portis’s place.. RB Jesse Lumsden did some work over the weekend, the team hopes he also will return to practice and play this weekend.. Lumsden was held out of the game with Cincinnati with a hip flexor..

Portis will not play in any of the Redskins final 3 pre-season games...
