Bush

Saints back Reggie Bush sat out practice on Wednesday with a bruised knee.  He did take part in the “walkthrough” portion of the practice, and says he’ll play Sunday vs the Rams at home.  “I just banged it up a little bit last game. That’s really it. There’s nothing broken, nothing torn or anything like that,” Bush said after practice. “Just a normal everyday football injury that you go through. (Sitting out of practice) was precautionary to get ready for the game this weekend. I was getting tackled out of bounds and a guy just twisted my leg and that was really it. It didn’t really start hurting me until later that night. It’s nothing that kept me out of the game or anything like that. … It’s just one of those weird things that don’t look like much.”

Left defensive end Charles Grant (left ankle), starting defensive tackle Brian Young (left knee), starting weakside linebacker Scott Shanle (hamstring) and reserve cornerback Usama Young (hamstring), all missed the practice on Wednesday.
