Moss, who was one of a handful of athletes who allegedly received HGH from Galea, has declined to comment on the story to the media, but told his teammates that he had no idea that the doctor was injecting him with HGH during the three times he was treated by him.

Still, the NFL could suspend Moss whether he knowingly took the HGH or not. Commissioner Roger Goodell has made it clear that he’s going to be proactive about disciplining players to maintain the integrity of his league. Multiple players, including star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, have been suspended without ever being found guilty of anything in the court of law.

In light of this story and the possibility that Moss, the team’s No. 1 receiver, could miss time this season, rumors have swirled about Terrell Owens joining the Redskins. The embattled Owens, who spent last season in Buffalo, has yet to find a home. It would be an interesting acquisition, reuniting him with quarterback Donovan McNabb, with whom Owens had a tenuous relationship during their season together in Philadelphia.

It’s big news for Portis, who has been the subject of trade rumors this offseason and needs to make a good impression on new head coach Mike Shanahan, who traded him to the Redskins while he was the head coach and general manager of the Denver Broncos.

This is further evidenced by the fact that Shanahan has brought in Larry Johnson and Willie Parker to compete for reps at running back. Neither of those players will be satisfied with a spot on the bench so the pressure is on Portis to put last season’s struggles and injury behind him.
