that said, portis was on sportstalk 980 at 5:15pm today and said he hasn't talked to gibbs yet, it'll be 4-8weeks to heal, and he's not sure what's going to happen yet. I'd think with our depth and our record, it'd be best for him to get everything fixed ASAP and use the time to heal and get ready for 2007.


I know players want to play, but honestly, if we're 5-9 with 2 games left, what would be the point? I mean, i'm fine with nor IR'ing him just in case campbell wins 6 in a row or something crazy (it's not like you'll get anyone at this point to fill that spot and help the team), but i wouldn't throw him back in if we're totally out of it.
