Per John Clayton: CP WILL Play today (and more CP "play/not play" topic mergings) MET

[WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3]

Just said it at the end of Sportscenter.

[SparkleMotion]

They just tweeted it too.

We need a 150 yard day outta CP.

[Santana_Fan]

I would love if he broke the same run today, as his very first run here (against the same team).

[Operations]

I'd kinda like to see what Mason could do with extended playing time. Against the Sucs might be a good time to try him out.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

I hate this....the dude is not 100%.

I feel we have very capable backs to get us through this week with a win. It's a long season, get the man healthy!

[SirClintonPortis]

Sub 100 yd performance...again...
Bank on it, even if the Bucs D sucks.

[hardatit]

Never can practice but always wants to play. bill Parcells rule was I don't care who you are no practice no play, maybe that why portis looks washed up he only plays football once a week

[McD5]

Very stupid decision.

Bench him Zorn, and let him get healthy.

[capt1an chaos]

If I woke up with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be any more surprised then I am right now.

[TheLongshot]

Yep, Portis is active today.

From Twitter:

Here are your Redskins-Bucs inactives: E. Williams, A. Montgomery, Mitchell, Alridge, Wynn, Batiste, Barnes, Henson.

[Hooper]

Hate that he never practices. Maybe it's why he keeps running directly into his blockers.

[SparkleMotion]

I'm glad Portis is playing for fantasy reasons, but Zorn needs to put his foot down at some point.

He's too scared to rock the boat.

[praise_gibbs]

I agree with those that want CP to rest the game out. I don't care if he gets 250 on the ground. It will mean nothing if he can't get healthy for the rest of the year. Use any combination of Betts/Mason/Alridge/Sellers/Cartwright (who ever is active) and let CP get ready for the long haul.

[jaydub]

I saw it too on SC. I would rest him and let him recover and get healthy.

I'm glad Portis is playing for fantasy reasons, but Zorn needs to put his foot down at some point.

He's too scared to rock the boat.

no one wants to start him hurt anyway. I have him and anyone else that drafted him in fantasy already has a decent replacement, playing him this game actually hurts him for fantasy down the stretch, he needs rest, he needs to be healthy. week 4 means very little in fantasy football.
