Portis to have shoulder surgery

Redskins8588 · 11-16-2006, 04:10 PM

Though his season ended because of a broken hand, running back Clinton Portis will also have shoulder surgery in the near future to repair a torn labrum suffered during the Redskins' first preseason game back in August, the Washington Post reported. Team doctors said Portis faces four to five months of rehabilitation following the operation

I wonder how much this will effect him next year...

Shouldn't have much if he get's the surgery soon IMO. I realize he might be more vunerable to injury in the future, but it is better to get this out of the way than to play semi-hurt for the rest of his carreer.

He needed shoulder surgery regardless, so it's better that he's getting a jump on things now rather than waiting until the end of the season.

Redskins8588 · 11-16-2006, 04:24 PM

I agree that this shouldnt hurt him next year, I just hope that this isnt the beginning of the end for him...

We will be fine, and I am positive the front office knows this too. Look for a late round RB drafted within the next two years.

Yeah, I'm worried about portis, RB's are just too replaceable, and with a long absence, his value may drop significantly.

That Guy · 11-16-2006, 05:27 PM

he'll miss a lot of the offseason because of it. other than that, just getting used to being comfortable using it again to take hits again...

dall-assblows · 11-16-2006, 05:30 PM

he needed it. at times this year he looked like that shoulder was killing him

Adding insult to injurying!

Now it's reported on XXX that Cooley has a shoulder injury.

Cheerful1 · 11-16-2006, 08:21 PM

I'm already having PORTIS withdrawls.
I wonder if they would consider allowing him to put on one of those infamous costumes and dance with the cheerleaders. That would be a classic! I'm sure he would be game!

This sucks, but at least CP should be completely healthy next year. In a way it's good this is happing now. We were done this year anyway. I really believe Portis will come back strong next year. And now we can really see what Betts and T.J are all about.

That Guy · 11-17-2006, 03:08 AM

cooley has had a seperated shoulder for six weeks he said. that news broke on his EITM interview on monday, of all places. those are really good interviews too, since you hear a lot about what goes on behind the scenes that you really don't hear from anyone else.

You think Gibbs will play Portis in the pre season games next year? LOL
