Zorn: "I expect Clinton to be out there"

Sep 26, 2009

Clinton Portis did not practice Friday, and the Redskins listed the running back as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions. Coach Jim Zorn, however, said Portis will play.

"His ankles have been sore," Zorn said. "We've got many [other backs] to choose from, but I expect Clinton to be out there ripping around."

Portis, who has started every game since he finished the 2006 season on IR with a broken hand, declined to comment. Zorn said Portis has been suffering from bone spurs in both ankles - a difficulty the coach had not revealed this season.

"It's been happening, not all preseason, but he's got a couple little spurs that are irritating," Zorn said. "No swelling. It's just hard for him. He needs to rest them."

He'll rest only in practice unless the ankles get much worse.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
