The Facts:
Portis will travel with the Redskins to Tennessee to see the team's medical consultant Dr. James Andrews for another evaluation of his knee tendonitis. "I think we are on the right track there, it's just a matter of how long it will take," HC Joe Gibbs said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Portis said on Wednesday night that he pushed his workout regimen during the week, but that the injury flares up after he makes sudden cuts while running on the knee. "Right now I think we found a way to contain it and we finally got to the problem," he said. "We're working in the right direction." Despite the optimistic tone at team headquarters, Washington Post staffer Jason La Canfora thinks the knee a bigger problem than advertised. As La Canfora explained: "[Portis has] missed two weeks of practice. I don't see anyway he would play in a pre-season game until the third game, and that might be pushing it. ..." It's certainly a situation that bears watching in coming days. Stay tuned.
