ASHBURN, Va., Feb. 28 (UPI) -- The Washington Redskins said Monday they have released running back Clinton Portis, whose seven-year stay with the team was plagued by injuries.
"Clinton provided excitement from the very first time he touched the ball as a Redskin and we were lucky to witness every ounce of energy, effort and passion he has given ever since," Redskins owner Daniel Snyder said in a statement. "We have been through a lot both on and off the field and we would like to wish him and his family the very best."
