All I've read is that the Times-Picayune (New Orleans newspaper) reported yesterday that Reggie had said himself he was anticipating a return in Week 7 vs. Browns, with Week 8 vs. Steelers at the latest. In my opinion, I think they'll try to keep him out of the Browns game if at all possible, start easing him back in Week 8 and/or Week 9. Their bye is Week 10.
I picked him up this morning off WW simply because I've got the bench room to hold 1 player, and I was currently holding Steve Smith (Carolina). He'll return around the same time as Reggie, maybe a game before, but with Clausen in and no sign of Moore coming back this week I don't trust Smith to be effective, so I swapped an injured Smith for injured Reggie. I'd say if you want him on your team, you might be able to wait until next week to pick him up, depending on how savvy your other owners are. I know a guy in my league that would snatch him up if he had the bench, so I wanted to make sure and beat him to it.

Just speculation here but my guess is they hold him out til after their bye as long as they are winning without him.
It seem slike Reggie always tries to come back early and either gets more seriously hurt or never preforms 100% due to playing hurt.
I think the Saints learned last year to take it easy on him during the season and "save" him for the postseason as long as they have the luxury to do that.

He starts practicing with the team this week/next week and they will see where he is at. Dont look for him this week.

Have you seen Fred Jackson's Schedule? He has maybe two weeks the entire rest of the season with good matchups. Tate is no big loss either. I would definatly hold Reggie

Anyone think Bush will get back on the field for week 8? I didn't see the Cleveland game but I can only imagine he would help out their struggling offense.
If he returns versus Pitt this week, does he warrant flex status against the Pitt D or is he a wait and see?

And you do not want to drop Brandon Tate because.........

depends, as a pure runner I would say yeah keep him on your bench but reggie is a kick returner and Wr as well in this offense. His game could be exactly what the Saints need against the Steelers.

Sean Payton said on 870am that the team is optimistic but guarded regarding the return of Reggie Bush this week. He will test the leg in practice this week so watch for updates on how he is doing. Sean Payton will give you as little detail as he is required to do so basically no one knows or will know until Sean Payton gives Bushes status. I imagine he will be listed as questionable right up until kick off even if he is 100%. Thats Payton for you.Whats the latest on Bush?

NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports that Reggie Bush (fibula) is "very doubtful" to play Sunday night against the Steelers.
La Canfora hears that "it's looking very bleak" for Bush's chances. Bush is able to run, but still can't practice. With Pierre Thomas (ankle) also likely out, Chris Ivory is setup for another start at tailback. After struggling in Week 7, he won't be a fantasy option against Pittsburgh's No. 1 run defense.

Unbelievable. Favre might play on ankle fractures, but Bush wusses out despite being CLEARED to play.

Pitt's D probably makes Reggie wet himself thinking about them. He probably lacks confidence in the leg right now and would rather wait a week to face Carolina than look the fool in primetime against Pitt.

Who knows? Darren McFadden was all but placed on IR a week ago -- turned out it was a smokescreen and his hammy was 100%.
This does not seem like an accurate comparison.

November 12, 2006 was a long time ago.

A few weeks ago Bush said he was ahead of schedule, now this 4-6 week injury looks like it will carry into week 7.

No. Hopefully he can play next week.

Profootballtalk.com reports that Reggie Bush (leg) isn't expected to return until Week 11 at the earliest.
Bush's fractured fibula has healed more slowly than expected. Although the former Trojan has been medically cleared to run, he hasn't been given clearance for practice. He was given a four-to-six week timetable to recover, but Monday marks the six-week point. Bush owners will be forced to wait close to another month for the RB3. Unless you're desperate for fantasy playoff depth in a PPR league, Bush doesn't get enough touches to warrant the roster spot.
