Portis is obviously a tough guy and a fierce competitor, so he will play through pain no matter what part of his body is affected. But if he has a real injury - as opposed to a really bad bcruise that causes a lot of pain but nothing more than that - in his hip, it is a bad omen for a running back.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a bad omen. A hip flexor strain is not that big of a deal. I've had one before and it bothered me for a week or two, but it was really just a little nagging ache, nothing more. If it was a knee I'd be much more concerned.
