"Redskins running back Clinton Portis hopes to play in Week 12 against the Vikings, he said during a radio appearance on Tuesday.

Portis underwent an MRI on his injured groin, which cost him five games this season, but no new injury was revealed. Now the issue is swelling in the groin.

"Hopefully, the swelling go down," Portis said during the radio appearance, according to the Washington Post. "The MRI didn't reveal anything new, so that was a great thing. That was great news. Right now, dealing with swelling, and hopefully that go down.""
