The Facts:
Portis likely will miss about a month with a broken right hand, an injury that could end what has been a decidedly uneven season for him and his team.
Reported by the Washington Post
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Bubba Tyer, the Redskins' director of sports medicine, said Portis would undergo surgery as soon as today to repair the fourth metacarpal bone in his right hand, which is the bone that runs below the ring finger. Tyer said Portis would have screws inserted to stabilize the bone, but that the injury would be particularly difficult for Portis, because as a running back he must be comfortable gripping the football. Portis is right-handed. ... Ladell Betts will move in as the starter in Portis' absence.
