A cold practice in Ashburn

We’ll probably be recycling that headline for the next few weeks.
Clinton Portis was simulating practice with the running backs, but not actually practicing. He was wearing sweats, but walking through the drills as Ladell Betts, Shaun Alexander, Mike Sellers and Rock Cartwright were actually doing them.
Pete Kendall, Antwaan Randle El and Anthony Montgomery were all out. Shawn Springs, Betts, and Jason Taylor were all in.
The team was working on punting situations, with Ryan Plackemeier punting from inside the 1-yard line. The wind was seriously affecting his punts, and you could see him adjusting to that as practice went on.
