Though he hasn’t played in seven weeks due to a groin injury, Redskins running back Clinton Portis not only will be back this week.

He’ll be starting.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Portis will get the nod when the Redskins play the Titans in Nashville.

But don’t bench Keiland Williams lightly. It’s unknown how long Portis will be able to hold up, and Williams could still get plenty of reps and touches.
