Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis sat out practice Wednesday because of leg problems.

“It’s really one leg,” he said. “It’s just my right leg. I’ve got plantar fasciitis, an ankle, the inside of my MCL, and a calf all on my right leg. So if I can get a new lower leg, I’ll be fine.”

Portis acknowledged he has not had much interaction with new play-caller Sherman Lewis, who came out of retirement about two weeks ago to serve as an offensive consultant.

Lewis is unfamiliar with the team’s personnel and knows little about Washington’s running game, but Portis expects it to work well.

“It ain’t hard, I mean, you either run gut, counter, stretch, toss, dive, or draw,” Portis said. “You can call it however you want to call it, but them are the only runs in football. For him to be an offensive coordinator for as long as he has, I’m sure he knows that as well. Maybe it’s the formations. . . . I don’t think it’s too hard to call the running game.”
