Portis questionable with bone spurs | Washington Examiner

Bringing Alridge back definitely tells me something about Portis' ankles. Bone spurs suck. It's think he'll be able to make a full recovery from it, but I think this may be the point where we start to see some decline from him. He's played in 34 straight games, and he's taken a pounding since becoming a Redskin. He's an old 28 and has a ton of career carries. Maybe Mason and Alridge represent a youth movement that culminates with the Skins maybe drafting Portis' replacement next year.

I understand my contensions could be premature, but we all know Portis hasn't been very explosive for a while. And we all know how RBs fall off so fast these days. Three guys who were all in their prime in the previous few seasons are struggling right now- LT, Westbrook, CP. It's early in the season, and none of them have really bad injuries, but it makes me wonder for sure.
