Clinton Portis - RB, Washington Redskins 12/6/2006

If all goes well, he should be ready to go when the Redskins open training camp next fall. Portis has been on injured reserve since Nov. 15, soon after he broke a bone in his hand on Nov. 12 against Philadelphia, but his shoulder has bothered him throughout the season.
