Redskins Coach Jim Zorn said the absence of star running back Clinton Portis during all but one series in the second half of Sunday night's 24-10 loss in Baltimore was due not only to the situation in the game -- the
Redskins trailed by two touchdowns -- but to Portis's inability to practice during the previous week.
