"Clinton Portis said Thursday that he expects to be in the backfield Sunday against the Eagles, but coaches apparently still have not talked with him about his role in the offense. Portis also addressed the end of his 27-yard run in Sunday's loss at St. Louis, a run in which he intentionally fell down. "If I had to have the chance to do it again, I would do the same thing with five people around me," he said. "Maybe I could've picked up four more yards. Four more yards I don't think are going to determine the outcome of that game." Portis had just two more carries after the long first-quarter gain. Ryan Torain saw the bulk of the playing time in the second half. Mike Shanahan said an injury to Portis's wrist played a role in that decision, but Portis said Thursday that nothing had changed with the injury. "I hurt my arm the first series of the Dallas Cowboys game," he said. "So you've seen me play the rest of the Dallas Cowboys game, you've seen me play against Houston and you've seen me start off the Rams game. So I really don't..." Portis's voice trailed off, and he wouldn't clarify the nature of the injury or its impact on how he ran the ball. "For these hot topics that you're bringing up, Coach Shanahan is right upstairs," he said." http://voices.washingtonpost.com/re...is-expects-to-be-i.html?wprss=redskinsinsider
