Reggie Bush Expected To Return From Leg Injury This Week

Despite indications to the contrary throughout the week, Saints running back and return specialist Reggie Bush is inactive for today’s game against the Seahawks.

Bush has been out while recovering from a broken fibula suffered against the 49ers in a Monday night game in September. Bush practiced this week, though, and reports indicated that Bush’s condition had improved enough for him to go for the Saints today in New Orleans. But after a pregame workout, the decision was made to keep Bush on the bench.

Initial reports suggested he would miss six weeks but it’s been seven games and eight weeks. Bush likely won’t receive a full complement of carries right off the bat as he’s worked back into the lineup. RB Pierre Thomas is also likely out for the Saints this weekend so there’s always the chance Bush sees more carries with the injury situation there. It’s hard to predict what kind of touches he’ll see this week.

More people are now reporting that Saints RB Reggie Bush suffered a fractured fibula on Monday Night Football against the 49ers.

A fractured fibula is a 4-6 week injury so Bush can expect to miss at least a month.

Bush had 3 punt returns for 43 yards, four yards on five carries as well as thirty yards and a touchdown receiving before leaving the game.
