who reported the procedure had gone well.
"Ill wait on my stitches to heal and Ill be fine," Porter said. "Theres not really any rehab. I just have to let everything set and Im fine. I will be doing bike work and lifting. The main thing is to let it set so you dont jump or upset anything theyve done internally and make them have to go back in there.
"Its for the best that I sit still. Its kind of awkward to sit still."

In an article published last Friday, ESPN.com insider Len Pasquarelli noted that Porters emergence last year prompted Callahan to open 13 games in three-wide receiver sets.
And the former second-round draft choice certainly opened up opposition secondaries to all the slants and precise timing routes in which Jerry Rice and Tim Brown specialize.
Pasquarelli further noted: "Its hard to quantify exactly what Porter meant to the Raiders pair of future Hall of Fame receivers but heres one number that jumps out: When Porter was on the field, Rice and Brown collectively averaged 1.5 yards more per reception than when Oakland was in a two-wide receiver formation.
"Rices average of 13.2 yards per catch was his second-best over the last seven seasons and it would naive to suggest Porter didnt play some role in that. The truth of the matter is, while secondaries still respect Brown and Rice, they dont respect their deep speed.
"The vertical dimension was one that Porter provided to an offense that throws the ball sideways an awful lot and there might not be another player on the roster capable of truly stretching the opposition defense north and south."
Alvis Whitted is fast enough to handle Porters role, but his inexperience and suspect hands -- he has a grand total of 17 catches in five years as a pro -- simply arent sufficient to strike fear in the hearts of opposing defensive coordinators.','9/18/2003','9:15:00 AM','Thursday'5288,2003,114 5688,11,3,'Hakim Hoping To Return Sunday...','According to Detroit Free Press
