Reggie Bush - Week 13 (1 Viewer)

Saints coach Sean Payton said in his Monday press conference that Reggie Bush experienced no setbacks with his shin injury in Week 12.

It appears the Saints went into the game planning to scale back Bush, who didn't start. Bush could be limited in practice again this week, but can be penciled into fantasy lineups for a Week 13 matchup against Tampa Bay

And you likely won't until after the Wednesday practice considering that after a win most teams don't practice on Monday and Tuesday is the players' day off.

Is that you being a productive member of the board? Thanks, but the media never sleeps and you never know when you'll get a nugget.

Sorry, I obviously mis-interpreted the tone of the post. Smart#$#% comments are the norm usually.
 
Reggie Bush (shin) returned to an unlimited practice Thursday.

Bush was never in danger of sitting out Week 13, but his return to a full session likely shows the Saints are no longer planning to limit his workload. Bush was mainly utilized as a passing-down specialist last Sunday.

Good - him being limited in the game is my main worry again; got smoked last week making the mistake of leaving him in my lineup as opposed to starting Kolby Smit :jawdrop: . Anxious to see what happens this week.
 
I read somewhere (I'll try to dig it up) where Payton plans to limit his carries this week, as he was happy with the running game and off production with the splits last week. If that's the case Bush has little upside this week...regardless of how well he practices.

Here it is...

BUSH LIMITED WEDNESDAY; LIKELY TO CONTINUE SHARING

. Compiled by FootballDiehards Editor Bob Harris Bob Harris | Posted Thursday November 29, 2007 @ 01:26 PT

According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, tailback Reggie Bush was limited by a bruised left shin on Wednesday.

All indications are Bush will be ready for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, even if he's limited throughout the week.

Bush was able to play against the Carolina Panthers with the same injury last Sunday -- although Aaron Stecker and Pierre Thomas played greater roles (and are likely to continue to do so).

Bush is a big risk this week with his poor play, playing against the Bucaneers, and his "iffy" physical condition. Why he is ranked so high in various projections is beyond me. :rolleyes:

Did the exact same thing, and lost the game because of it. Now I'm starting Smith and not sure on C. Taylor or Bush. :thumbup:

Why do I have this feeling Bush will bounce back strong this week? Garcia is hurting and that could mean the Bucs D will be out on the field much longer.

Bush wasn't in danger of sitting out Week 13, but his return to full work likely shows the Saints are no longer planning to limit his workload. Bush was mainly utilized as a passing-down specialist last Sunday. Worth noting are Bush's struggles against the Bucs: his career high in three games against them is 27 rushing yards. He'd still be hard to sit in PPR leagues.

Transcript of Sean Payton's Thursday press conference

Posted by dtatum November 29, 2007 1:51PM

Opening statement:

"From a practice standpoint, (McKinley) Boykin - left knee - did not participate. Pierre Thomas has a bruised kidney from the game we just played and we held him out; we'll see where he's at. We're monitoring him. Yesterday it flared up on him again in his urine, so we just have to be careful and see where it's at tomorrow."

Was Pierre's injury something you recognized earlier but he seemed OK?

"Yes. He had it coming away from the game and he had tests done and everything seemed alright, and then after yesterday's practice he had some more blood in his urine, so we backed off today. We'll just watch and see where he's at tomorrow."

Reggie Bush was a full-go today?

"Yes. Reggie was full on everything. Brian Young was full on everything. Just the two really on the report. It was mostly third down reps today with some first and second down and our pretty standard Thursday schedule."

Sounds good.

BUSH HEALTHY; THOMAS HURT: Saints tailback Reggie Bush fully participated in Thursday's practice, a sign that he has almost completely recovered from the bruised shin that limited him last week.

"Everything feels good. I'm 100 percent, ready to go for the game this weekend," Bush said. "It was just one of those injuries that lingered on for about a week and a half. Now it feels good, and it's pretty much a done deal."

One of his backups, Pierre Thomas, might not be available Sunday, however. The rookie tailback missed practice Thursday with a bruised kidney.

Thomas injured his kidney in last Sunday's game at Carolina, though he doesn't know when it happened, because he didn't feel any unusual soreness. The injury was discovered after he had blood in his urine.

He seemed all right after initial tests, but he had more blood after Wednesday's practice.

"That's not your usual injury. You don't see that every day. I almost fainted," admitted Thomas, who said he has felt great all along and expects to heal quickly, based on what he has heard from the team's medical staff. But he isn't sure if he will get the green light to play Sunday.

"They'll find out more (today)," Thomas said. "They just want to be careful."

The only other player on the Saints' injury report was backup defensive tackle McKinley Boykin, who missed Thursday's practice with a knee injury.
