Portis Expected to Be Placed on IR

[Monkeydad]

CP is supposed to have shoulder surgery following his hand surgery that he just had. I want him to get everything fixed ASAP so he can get back in playing shape for the beginning of Campbell's first full year in '07.

It'll be sad watching the Skins without Portis...but I am excited to see Campbell. MAYBE...playing without Portis will make it tougher and BETTER experience for Jason, and when CP returns next year, it'll make things seem EASIER for Campbell. This COULD actually benefit JC...sort of in a way of getting some real tests early on. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I don't think Portis will have any ill feelings towards the team like Lavar. He knows his health and knows he needs to get fixed up. He's not being benched for a childish argument with Gibbs, it's for saving his career and being able to play without pain.

I don't expect to see him play in the preseason though.
