ESPN: The Saints have confirmed that RB Reggie Bush had surgery on
his left knee, and will require months of rehabilitation. However,
Bush is expected to be ready for minicamp in June. Saints GM
Mickey Loomis said Bush had a microfracture procedure performed on
his left knee after he was placed on injured reserve in mid-
December. Saints HC Payton had indicated last week that Bush
underwent an arthroscopic procedure performed by Dr. James Andrews
in Birmingham, Ala. Loomis said the surgery was not a "major"
procedure, according to the report. "I wouldn't want to call it
minor, because he's got a pretty significant period of rehab
time," Loomis told the Times-Picayune. "But at the end of it, he
shouldn't have any issues."

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.
