Great gesture by CP. Hes my favorite player in the league and that is great respect right there. I hate when people say Portis is a scrub and not a good guy. Portis is great. Awesome Gesture and I wish the Skins well the rest of the season.
RIP!

I had a feeling he would do that, and he will run harder than ever the for the rest of the season.!!!

I wonder if they will eventually retire it or at least put it on the "unoffical" retired number list.

I hope so. I love that CP is going to wear it as a tribute to his good friend, but I can't imagine any other Redskin ever wearing it.

I've been watching Comcast Sports Net all day and haven't seen this.
If anyone has a link or proof, I would appreciate it if it could be posted here.

Actually the NFL reported it has not received a request for a jersey change for Sunday's game per Comcast

I don't think they have any say in the matter. 21 is a perfectly valid number for a RB. I don't think he'll have Taylor's name on the back, so it's not a uniform violation.
