With star running back Clinton Portis already sidelined as he deals with the aftereffects of a concussion, the Redskins were hoping backup running back Ladell Betts could shoulder the load. Instead, Betts left in the first quarter Sunday against Dallas with a knee injury. As it turns out, Betts has torn the medial collateral ligament in his knee and will probably miss at least a month. Portis will also reportedly miss next week's game as well, meaning Rock Cartwright will be the featured back for the Redskins against the stingy Eagles' run defense in Week 12. Sunday, Cartwright filled in admirably for Betts (and Portis). He ran the ball 13 times for 67 yards (5.15 yards per carry), but was also greatly involved in the passing attack. He caught seven passes for 73 yards.
Depth will likely be a concern for the Redskins, as they'll be working with just Cartwright, Quentin Ganther and Mike Sellers from the backfield. Sellers is a blocking back and Ganther has just six carries this season.
The Redskins have been particularly stricken with injuries this season. In addition to the backfield, they've dealt with injuries to Chris Cooley, Albert Haynesworth, Chris Samuels and even their punter (Hunter Smith). Sunday, they also lost guard Chad Rinehart for the rest of the season.
