Unless Portis is healthier than he was last week, he's got to sit. Against Dallas and Seattle, he was healthy enough to contribute to our offense. Against the Giants he was not, which suggests that his condition is deteriorating week to week.

I have no idea if sitting Portis down for a week will do any good in the long term, but in the short term, if Portis is too hurt to block even, we've got to not kill him.

I would give him a week, maybe even two, to recover. We'll need a more effective Portis than we just saw to handle the Eagles in two weeks.
