Saints RB Bush held out of morning practice

Aug 03, 2009

Saints running back Reggie Bush experienced some swelling in his surgically-repaired left knee and did not participate in this morning’s training camp practice.

Saints coach Sean Payton said Bush, who was able to go in Sunday’s single practice after being held out of Saturday’s second workout, had some “mild swelling” in the knee. Bush had surgery on the knee in October and again in December.

“We don’t think it’s anything significant,” Payton said. “We just don’t want it to become irritated and have him be out more than a practice or two.”

Just before noon, Payton said he didn’t know whether Bush would be available for this afternoon’s practice, which will be held indoors.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

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.
