Did Portis Hurt Himself Racing Landry?
By Jamie Mottram | May 8, 2008
When Clinton Portis and LaRon Landry raced after practice the other day, Chris raised the specter of foolish injury. I laughed it off at the time due to entertainment value, but now, from Jason Reid at the Post (via The Mayor, of course):
Running back Clinton Portis (minor hip injury) sat out practice. Zorn theorized that the injury could have occurred when Portis and safety LaRon Landry raced against each other Sunday.
Did Portis really hurt himself during a dash-off? Why is Zorn theorizing about something that may shame his star player? When is Reid going to get the truth on what’s either a) a non-story or b) the biggest story of these OTAs?
So many questions, so few answers. Though we all know this is probably just an excuse for Clinton to skip a practice in early May.
Update: David Elfin at the Times has Zorn’s exact quote, which is just dripping with savvy …
“Clinton’s OK,” Zorn said. “I’m wondering if it was that sprint …”

I’m not surprised. He looked about as in shape as George Clinton in that video.

maybe if they practiced sprints more they wouldn’t get injured. and maybe win more games too

I laughed it off too Jamie, but for me it was because it’s too early in the offseason for a redskin to get injured. the team has a knack for staying healthy until about september.
