The Facts:
Portis is questionable at this point and his chances of facing Dallas on Sunday are "50-50," HC Jim Zorn said after practice today. Portis has a knee sprain that has worsened since the team last played Nov. 3.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Zorn remains optimistic that Portis will play, but conceded that "it would be a major issue for all of us," if he cannot. Zorn said that second-string back Ladell Betts may be back from his knee injury for Sunday's game, but that he is not "expecting" that result. Should the Redskins be without Betts and Portis, Zorn said Rock Cartwright would continue to return kicks, but would have some of his other special teams work curtailed given the shortage of available runners. If Betts returns and Portis is out, Zorn said Betts would play ahead of Shaun Alexander, but that it very well could be " a community position."
