Big news if he can stay healthy.........

	Betts' role to decrease in Skins' new offense
	Ladell Betts - RB - WAS - Feb. 12
	The Redskins now view Ladell Betts solely as a backup to Clinton Portis. Joe Gibbs used to call Portis and Betts interchangeable. Betts will be used more on special teams this year, replacing free agent KR Rock Cartwright. New coach Jim Zorn raved about Portis' receiving ability at his introductory presser. It sounds like Betts could even lose his third-down role in 2008. Source: washingtonredskins.com

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

Washington Post beat writer Jason La Canfora would "bank on" the Redskins giving Clinton Portis every opportunity to be a feature back in 2008.
While former RBs coach Earnest Byner often campaigned for Ladell Betts to get more work, La Canfora believes Jim Zorn's staff will use Portis as a "workhorse." Zorn has indicated that he plans to open 2008 with a run-heavy offense. An injury free offseason would be a promising sign for Portis. Apr. 16 - 2:31 p.m. ET

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

LaRon Landry only narrowly beat Clinton Portis in a foot race at Redskins minicamp.
Landry has sensational speed and ran a 4.35 forty coming out of LSU, so it's impressive that Portis was close. Portis is also enjoying a rare injury-free offseason. The Redskins will keep Portis as an every-down back this year. May. 5 - 3:32 p.m. ET

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins

Clinton Portis missed the Redskins' OTA workout Wednesday with a "minor hip flexor strain."
Portis appeared headed for a healthy offseason after last summer's disaster, but apparently that won't happen. The Redskins believe Portis may have been hurt when he raced LaRon Landry Sunday. Portis' status is unknown. May. 7 - 3:36 p.m. ET
