Reggie Bush missed his first practice of training camp, but New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton said the star running back was just resting and did not appear to have any problems with his surgically repaired left knee.

Payton said the Saints planned all along to give Bush intermittent rests during two-a-day practices "just to keep the knee from getting aggravated, so he's doing fine."

The Saturday evening practice Bush missed was the fourth practice held in the two days since Saints training camp opened Friday morning. Payton said Bush was expected back at practice Sunday afternoon.

Bush had surgery in December to repair cartilage in his left knee. On Friday, he characterized the health of the knee as "99.5 percent."

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.
