Running back Clinton Portis was released by the Washington Redskins, the team announced Monday.
Portis is just 77 yards of 10,000 career rushing yards and 648 shy of Hall of Famer John Riggins' Redskins franchise record.
"We have been through a lot both on and off of the field and we would like to wish him and his family the very best," Owner Dan Snyder said in a statement announcing Portis' release. "He will always be a Redskin and go down as one of the franchise's all-time greats."
