Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush practiced for the second day in a row on Thursday. Bush appears to be over his ankle injury and is expected to return in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints.
Reggie Bush gets another practice Thursday, ready for fantasy return
Reggie Bush practiced for the second straight day. We break down the fantasy implications.


Bush has been dealing with the ankle issue for a few weeks and didn't play in Week 6. Joique Bell got the start against the Minnesota Vikings, rushing for 74 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. Bush has totaled 303 yards and a touchdown on 65 touches this season.
Fantasy impact: Bush's return should be a boon to Matthew Stafford, who could be without Calvin Johnson for another week. The Lions are short on healthy playmakers in the offense, so it's unlikely that Bush will be limited or eased back into action. He should return to fantasy flex territory, with Bell continuing his role as the main between-the-tackles runner. Both players have plus matchups with the Saints' shaky defense.
