Redskins | Portis visits with concussion specialists Sat Nov 21, 09:48 AM
Updating a previous item, ESPN.com reports Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis (concussion) was at the University of Pittsburgh Friday, Nov. 20, to have his concussion evaluated by the same doctors who examined Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (concussion). Portis revealed the following on his status via Twitter: 'Hey fans! Trying to get healthy to finish the season strong, want to make sure there aren't lingering affects before returning to the field.'
| Our view: Portis was ineffective before the injury and Betts has moved the chains, so if you have Portis and Betts, the best outcome is probably IR for Portis so that Betts can be the unobstructed starter for the remainder of the season. |

The Associated Press reports Washington Redskins RB Ladell Betts had 26 carries for 114 yards with a touchdown during the team's Week 10 game.
