Bell could replace Betts/Portis just fine.

You may have to replace Clinton Portis’s replacement.

Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn is now leaning towards a RBBC approach for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos, as back-up running back Ladell Betts has been dealing with foot and ankle issues.

Betts was in line for the majority of the carries for Washington after Clinton Portis was knocked out of last week’s game on a helmet-to-helmet hit, and was then ruled out of Week 10‘s action.

Portis should be back in a week.

Washington Redskins starting running back Clinton Portis has officially been ruled out by the team and head coach Jim Zorn, and the team will go with back-up Ladell Betts as the starter against the Denver Broncos.

Portis sustained a concussion in the first quarter against the Atlanta Falcons on a helmet-to-helmet hit last week. He exited the game after reportedly being knocked unconscious, and did not return.

The team is giving him the week off as a precautionary measure, as they have a capable running back to step in, and they don’t want to risk further damage to their star player.
