Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush returned to practice on Wednesday, according to Tim Twentyman of the team's website. It's unclear if he'll end up being listed as limited or not, but it bodes well for his ankle injury that he's at practice on a Wednesday. Bush missed Detroit's Week 6 game against the Minnesota Vikings with said injury.

There are some who believe that Bush was held out of that game as a precaution and that he could have played if he needed to. That's another good sign, as it seems likely he'll be in action for Detroit's Week 7 game against his former team the New Orleans Saints. Bush has been decent this season with 45 carries or 161 yards and a touchdown and 20 receptions for 142 yards.
Fantasy Impact: While Bush hasn't been the most productive fantasy back, he does have some value. Theo Riddick will get fewer chances and Joique Bell will be the only back contending with Bush for touches. Whatever the case, the Saints have not been great against running backs this season and Bush is a solid flex option for Week 7, provided there are no setbacks in practice.
