Clinton Portis injures shoulder
Running back Clinton Portis partially dislocated his left shoulder during Washington’s opening series of the preseason, a significant setback for the Redskins’ revamped offense.
An MRI test detected the injury, which involves the bone popping out of place temporarily in the shoulder socket. Standard treatment involves rest and strengthening exercises.
There was no immediate indication how long he will be sidelined.
We firmly believe that uncertain injuries to notable NFL players should be accompanied with the number for a suicide prevention center for overzealous fantasy owners, so please note that you can reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK.
