RB Bush Saints to sit out Scrimmage on Sat.

Aug 07, 2009

The Saints, after a relaxed walk-through in the afternoon practice inside their facility Friday, will have a scrimmage today. Sean Payton said he will sit safety Darren Sharper, wide receiver Lance Moore, running back Reggie Bush, wide receiver Adrian Arrington, tight end Dan Campbell and defensive back Randall Gay.

Sharper has a bursa sac that has been irritated behind his right knee, Payton said. Sharper, running with the first team at safety, left the morning practice and didn't return. He sat out the afternoon practice as well.

"It's not serious," Payton said of Sharper. "We will give him a day."

Scott Fujita, who missed both practices on Friday to attend a funeral, will be back for the scrimmage, Payton said.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
