Clinton Portis was already banged up, but now he’s even worse. Apparently, he’s being treated for back spasms now and can’t bend at the waist.
“My back just spasmed up,” he said. “I was [sleeping], but I don’t now how I slept. I woke up and just didn’t feel like moving this morning. It feels better when they [trainers] rubbing on it, but that don’t last long. As soon as they stop, it starts back hurting.
“Everything they can come up with, we’ll just try,” he said. As for Sunday’s game, “it’s two days from now, we’re looking forward to it,” Portis said. “If it’s bad, it’s bad. Hopefully, it’ll be all right.”
Neither Portis nor Washington’s offense has been great lately. This doesn’t help.
