ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, bringing an early end to the least productive and most frustrating season of his career. Portis broke a bone in his right hand in Sunday's 27-3 loss at Philadelphia. He had surgery Monday and was expected to require three to four weeks of rehabilitation. With the Redskins (3-6) in last place and harboring only slim hopes of making a playoff run, the team decided to give him time to heal completely rat |

| Ashburn, VA (MySportsbook) - Clinton Portis' injury-plagued 2006 season took another turn for the worse Tuesday, as the running back reportedly said he expected to be on the shelf twice as long as the Washington Redskins announced and the club considered placing him on injured reserve. A source told the Washington Post that Portis envisioned his season could be over after breaking his hand in the first quarter of Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The running back had three screws surgically inserte |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Within a few hours of his big promotion, Jason Campbell had received congratulations and advice from Donovan McNabb, Steve McNair and Charlie Frye. For that matter, it seemed everyone wanted a word with the new Washington Redskins starting quarterback. ``I had to cut my phone off,'' Campbell said. ``It was getting crazy.'' Campbell arrived for work a bit calmer Tuesday, having slept on the news that he has replaced Mark Brunell and will start Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccanee |

| Ashburn, VA (MySportsbook) - Washington Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs announced Monday that quarterback Jason Campbell will make his NFL debut and start in place of Mark Brunell Sunday at Tampa Bay. The Redskins were trounced by Philadelphia, 27-3, at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday with Brunell going 16-of-31 for just 132 yards with an interception. The setback was the fourth in five games for the 3-6 Redskins, who were coming off a wild 22-19 win over Dallas a week earlier. "We're going to give Jason his op |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis had surgery Monday on a broken bone in his right hand and is expected to be sidelined three to four weeks. Portis had three screws inserts into the ring finger bone, which was broken late in the first quarter of Sunday's 27-3 loss to Philadelphia. He'll wear a cast for a week to help control swelling, then some kind of splint during the rest of his rehabilitation. Portis conceivably could be done for the year. He's had four injuries in three |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Jason Campbell will make his NFL debut Sunday for the Washington Redskins, replacing quarterback Mark Brunell for a 3-6 team apparently heading nowhere and in need of a plan for the future. Coach Joe Gibbs announced Monday that Campbell, who has been an inactive third quarterback for all 25 games of his pro career, will start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ``We're going to give Jason his opportunity and see if we can be more productive and see if we can get some more answers,'' Gibbs s |
