Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush was held out of practice on Wednesday. Bush re-injured his ankle in Sunday's Week 10 win over the Miami Dolphins and is not a sure thing to suit up against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11.

Bush has been dealing with the ankle injury for several weeks now and was held out of Week 8. He was close to healthy after the Week 9 bye but aggravated the injury once again, and head coach Jim Caldwell said that Bush was limited after getting hurt again. He played just 19 of 67 offensive snaps while Joique Bell played 45 and Theo Riddick saw seven.
Fantasy impact: One of fantasy’s biggest disappointments in 2014, Bush hasn’t scored a touchdown since Week 3 and has never been truly 100 percent. It’s fair to wonder if the 29-year-old is starting to break down. Even if Bush is active on Sunday, he can’t be trusted outside of the most desperate flex plays. Riddick should be rostered in 12- and 14-team leagues.
