got this off the NFL NETWORK website.check if you wish.
it's by the AP.

"I was hoping today that there would be a little more optimism, and there's not," coach Jim Zorn said. "He's still questionable. I would say there's no change today. I was looking for another jump, but there wasn't."

Portis sprained his left knee in the 23-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers before last week's bye.

With Portis ailing, Ladell Betts appears set to start Sunday. Betts has missed the last three games with a sprained knee, but he was on the field in steady rain for Thursday's practice.

"Betts looked good," Zorn said. "He's got a brace on, but made some cuts. That was encouraging."

Shaun Alexander would start if both Portis and Betts are unable to play.

Zorn also said he doesn't expect defensive tackle Anthony Montgomery (Achilles) to play, and was pessimistic about Marcus Washington (shoulder). He also said he expects Shawn Springs (calf) to be available, but Springs did not practice and said he doesn't expect to practice again Friday. If Springs doesn't play, new signing DeAngelo Hall would have a greater role in his Redskins debut.

Devin Thomas missed practice with an illness. Fellow rookie receiver Malcolm Kelly, who has been battling knee problems all season, practiced but probably won't play Sunday.

"I don't believe I'm going to activate him," Zorn said. "He's so far behind. I'm just glad he's out there

Good info.

I think we should merge all these injury/Portis/Alexander/Betts threads into one. There are like 4 or 5 threads open right now discussing essentially the same thing.

Interesting in the thread title you have a ? at the end, but it doesn't show up, on the thread title list page(or whatever the heck you call it) so it looks like you are making a statement that Betts is starting.
Clearly Betts is still questionable too, and I hope that the game planning is based on SA with heavy doses of Rock

With LB, SA, Rock, and Sellers we should have plenty of talent to run the ball.
