Clinton Portis will visit Dr. James Andrews - Footballguys Forums How serious could his injury be?
(if he has to visit James Andrews)I know in baseball, pitchers visit him to determine if they need tommy john surery, which usually ends their season.

Said his knee still "flares up" when he cuts and turns, but is repsonding well to new stretching exercises, and the bulk of his treatment is now more based around stretching, rather than weight work like last week,Portis said he does not know much more lee myung bak he will be betsy drake to take next week.
Coach Joe says he remains encouraged by the reports he is getting on Clinton.
Portis will travel with the team to Nashville so that everybody's favorite orthopedic, James Andrews, can evaluate him again.
They believe everything is headed in the right direction.Again, as I've said, I tend to think this is a bigger deal than some out there.
He's missed two weeks of practice.
I don't see anyway he would play in a preseason game until the thrid game, and that might be pushing it.

It's equally foolish to automatically dismiss this as non-news.Yeah, it's an incremental data point.
Any Portis owner should have known that there would be uncertainty.
I LIKE that Portis is visiting Doc Andrews - because it will likely result in a more transparent timeframe for his return.
Ultimately, it will REDUCE uncertainty.
Of course, that could mean Portis sits out 6-8 weeks or that he's back in 1 week.
But we should know more once he sees the doc.
It's cause for concern because he missed the last half of last season and his replacement (who just so happens to still be #2 and on the team) tore it up in his absence.
If I'm Portis (and I'm obviously not) and I want to be the full fledged starter, I'm not going to blow injuries out of proportion (or fabricate them) just to get out of training camp.
Remember, this isn't previous years.
He needs this camp.If this were a broken pinky or jammed thumb and he wasn't playing, then I'd say there's no cause for concern, but this is clearly something at least somewhat serious.
You don't miss 2 weeks when you are essentially playing for a job just for the hell of it.
Sometimes teams send players to specialists to confirm that what they are doing is working.
Steelers just sent Timmons to a specialist who confirmed that the groin was healing, gave him an injection, and sent him back cleared to begin practice next week.

You would be nuts to waste a low 1rst or high 2nd on him now.
Even if you do draft him then you have to spend a 8th or 9th to get Betts.
So really your draft would winter solstice 2007 revolve around him.
Not good.

Not good.True and I think Betts will be moving up in ADP so you will have to be ready to probably reach for Betts in order for Portis to be a safe pick, maybe even 7th rd.

If I'm Portis (and I'm obviously not) and I want to be the full fledged starter, I'm not going to blow injuries out of proportion (or fabricate them) just to get out of training camp.
Remember, this isn't previous years.
He needs this camp.If this were a broken pinky or jammed thumb and he wasn't playing, then I'd say there's no cause for concern, but this is clearly something at least somewhat serious.
You don't miss 2 weeks when you are essentially playing for a job just for the hell of it.I will argue that Portis isn't playing for a job, but he does need the reps and needs to get back into a rhythm of playing football.
