Saw this on PFT who I generally trust to be accurate with this type of information:

PORTIS IS EXPECTED TO PLAY MONDAY NIGHT

Although Redskins running back Clinton Portis missed another practice on Tuesday due to a shoulder injury suffered on the first drive of the team's first preseason game of the season, a league source with knowledge of the situation predicts that Portis will be suited up and ready to play against the Vikings on Monday night.

On August 13, Portis had a shoulder pop out of joint and then back in while making a tackle following an interception thrown by quarterback Mark Brunell. Portis hasn't played or practiced since the injury.

Also missing practice for the Redskins on Tuesday was cornerback Shawn Springs, who had surgery on August 15 to repair a torn abdominal muscle.
