Guys, We don't play Sunday, we play Monday night. That's one extra day. I still think Portis will suit up and play. This is all a decoy to confuse the Vikings. Portis has been healing for a month. He is ready. If you are Portis and you are 75% and it is Monday night at home in a home opener, how do you not try to play? Heck rotate series with Betts. I think Portis can get 10-15 carries and Betts can get 10-15. Portis is probably more worried about his shoulder in pass protection for Brunell, than he is running with the ball. Trying to hit blitzing LBs will be tougher on him than running with the ball.
