Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Betts was playing for Clinton Portis, who is sidelined with a concussion. Zorn said Portis will miss his third straight game next week against Philadelphia and could sit out the following week as well. Third-string running back Rock Cartwright will start against the Eagles, and Zorn said the Redskins plan to bring back Marcus Mason, who was cut earlier this season, to restore some depth to the position. ... Meanwhile, doctors examining Chris Cooley said the TE will have to wear a boot for another 10 days as he recovers from a broken right ankle. Zorn said the new timetable could make Cooley a candidate for IR.
