 ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Redskins running back Clinton Portis is targeting Washington's second game for his return from a shoulder injury. He essentially ruled himself out for the Monday night opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Though he wore a helmet and his No. 26 jersey during the entire practice Friday for the first time since partially dislocating his left shoulder four weeks ago, Portis said he is focusing on coming back against Dallas or Houston, Washington's third game.
"The way things look, bro, you'll probably be seeing 2-6 against Dallas," Portis said. "But who knows? If not, I should be ready for Houston. They want me to be 100 percent.
In a bit of a surprise, Portis said he was initially told he wouldn't return until the third or fourth game of the regular season, making the injury considerably more serious than originally portrayed by the Redskins.
