The Facts:
Dispelling speculation that the running back may get released, new HC Mike Shanahan said Friday that Portis will return to the team this season. “He’s our running back,” Shanahan told FOXSports' Alex Marvez and co-host Gil Brandt during a Friday appearance on Sirius NFL Radio at the NFL Scouting Combine.. Reported by FOXSports.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Portis’ future with the Redskins came into question shortly after Shanahan became Washington’s HC in early January. The 29-year-old Portis was limited to 484 yards and eight games last year because of injuries, including a season-ending concussion in November that he is still recovering from. ... Worth noting: The Redskins wouldn’t receive much of a break financially by releasing Portis. All but $800,000 of his $7.2 million base salary in 2010 is guaranteed
