The Facts:
Art Shell expects the disgruntled Porter to play against the Vikings on Monday night. Porter didn't play against Philadelphia last week because of a calf injury. Shell said trainer Rod Martin expects Porter to be able to go. "If he's ready to play, he'll play," Shell said Saturday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Porter has had the calf injury for much of training camp and only recently returned to practice full time. But since returning, Porter -- who hasn't spoken with Shell since an off-season disagreement -- hasn't spent any time with the first-team offense. Shell was noncommittal about whether Porter would play with Oakland's starting offense at any time against the Vikings. "He'll play," Shell said. "He'll play. If he's ready to play, he'll play."
