Redskins beaten down by injuries

The Eagles will face a depleted Washington running attack Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.

Clinton Portis is expected to again be out with a concussion, coach Jim Zorn said. He has missed the last two games and has not been able to practice since he was injured in a helmet-to-helmet hit against Atlanta.

Backup Ladell Betts will have an MRI today on a torn MCL suffered against Dallas yesterday and his season could be in jeopardy. Betts had four carries for 5 yards before being injured on the second series.

Rock Cartwright, who returns kickoffs, came in and finished 13 carries for 67 yards and a team-high seven receptions for 73 yards.

In other injuries, right guard Chad Rinehart broke his right leg in the Dallas game and likely is lost for the season. Defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was out with an ankle injury, as was tight end Chris Cooley.

Offensive coordinator Sherman Smith said the team will need to pick up a running back for next week's game and he mentioned Marcus Mason as a possibility, according to the Washington Post. Mason was relased in late October.
