The Washington Redskins placed running back Clinton Portis on injured reserve Tuesday, ending the player’s season because of sequelae of a concussion he suffered one month ago while playing for the Redskins against the Atlanta Falcons.
What is uncertain is that whether Portis will play football again. At the age 28, Portis had already shown signs of wear and tear before the concussion. Putting on his NFL jersey in 2002, Portis has had 2,176 carries, third most in the NFL, but he ends this season with a career-low 494 yards rushing on 124 carries and one touchdown.
Nevertheless, both the Redskins and Portis’ agent are optimistic about the Portis’ playing prospects. Believing that the running back’s prognosis is good, they are expecting him to make a full recovery and return to Washington for 2010 season.
