The Washington Redskins placed running back Clinton Portis on injured reserve Tuesday, ending the player’s season because of sequelae of a concussion he suffered one month ago while playing for the Redskins against the Atlanta Falcons.
What is uncertain is that whether Portis will play football again. At the age 28, Portis had already shown signs of wear and tear before the concussion. Putting on his NFL jersey in 2002, Portis has had 2,176 carries, third most in the NFL, but he ends this season with a career-low 494 yards rushing on 124 carries and one touchdown.
Nevertheless, both the Redskins and Portis’ agent are optimistic about the Portis’ playing prospects. Believing that the running back’s prognosis is good, they are expecting him to make a full recovery and return to Washington for 2010 season.

Panthers DT Tyler on season-ending IR now
The Carolina Panthers made quick moves really. Placing defensive tackle Tank Tyler on injured reserve Friday, the team then had Tyler’s replacement by claiming Derek Landri off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars soon later on the same day.
Which ended Tyler’s season was a knee injury which he suffered during last Sunday’s loss to the New York Jets. The Panthers had to be quick as they have learned quite a lot from losing the 10 players to injuries for season.
Comparing to Tyler, who made 13 tackles in six games he played in the Panthers jersey after being acquired from the Kansas City Chiefs, 6-foot-2, 290-pound Landri appeared in just seven games and made 13 tackles while playing in Jaguars jersey, being listed inactive for the past four weeks

Browns lost LB Jackson for the season to a shoulder injury
After Sunday’s 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cleveland Browns were further disappointed by losing linebacker D’Qwell Jackson, who was selected as a defensive captain before the season, to a shoulder injury for the rest of the season.
“It’s disappointing any time you lose a player for the season, and this is especially true with someone like D’Qwell, who has proven to be an outstanding leader for us both on and off the field,” Browns coach Eric Mangini said in a statement. The team placed the leading tackler on injured reserve Tuesday, two days after he damaged his shoulder during the first half of Sunday’s game at Pittsburgh.
Jackson has been one of the best defenders in the Browns jerseys over the past three-plus seasons and led the Browns in tackles the past two seasons after ranking second as a rookie in 2006. He also led the NFL with 188 tackles last season and was chosen as a Pro Bowl alternate and has had 57 tackles, including 44 solos, this season. Losing him will a big loss to the Browns defense. Rookies David Veikune and Kaluka Maiava will be used to fill the spot in the team’s 3-4 scheme.
