If he hurts his shoulder, and is bothered by knee tendonitis, hes a lot more likely to sit the game out than if just his shoulder was giving him trouble.

I actually have tendonitis in both of my knees and it's not that big of a deal for me. The pain isn't that bad while I'm participating in an activity. However, the next day I have a lot of trouble moving around/standing up. I feel like Portis will miss a lot more practice than he will actual gametime.

I had tendonitis in my throwing elbow for three years. Between baseball and football, I've never really had any down time. When I stopped playing football, it went away pretty fast.

Course, with knee tendonitis, it seems pretty much impossible to ever get some true down time. Unless they have CP on crutches, its a whole different ballgame than elbow tendonitis.
