Reggie Bush Injury Status

After last weeks tongue in cheek Reggie Bush injury report post I'm sad to say I've tempted fate for the Saints speedster has picked up something more serious than the paper cut previously reported.  So without further ado here is the latest Reggie Bush injury status report courtesy of Saints NFL and Falconer Productions:

Reggie Bush injury status:  The former Heismen Trophy winner and Saints RB did not participate in practice this week due to a troublesome knee injury that restricted his participation in the second half of the Rams game.  Will Reggie Bush play?  Well he is listed as questionable for the Tampa Bay Bucs game so reading between the lines he is unlikely to suit up given the impending match up with the New England Patriots in Week 12.  The break will give Saints number 25 more time to work on the infamous Reggie Bush best friend Christmas card list.

Jabari Greer injury status:  The Saints cornerback did not practice again this week because of his troublesome groin problem, the same injury that kept him out of the Week 10 match up with the St Louis Rams.  Here's to hoping the great man is resting up on the couch as I write this.  Get well soon partner.

Lance Moore Saints WR:  Ever since writing my Lance Moore New Orleans Saints post the ace in the sleeve slot receiver has been plagued by an ankle injury that has kept him out for some 3 weeks.  I will hold of praising any more Saints players until number 16 is back and healthy.  In the meantime let's hope this rest time will ensure he is healthy and at his best come the playoffs.  

Tracy Porter injury status:  Following the most innocuous of clashes with Usama Young in the Rams game Saints ace CB Tracy Porter has sprained his left medial collateral ligament (it's something in his leg apparently) and is out indefinitely.  That's the bad news.  The good news is Porter is likely to be back before seasons end and in the meantime can spend longer on his Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès thesis on the French revolution.

Sedrick Ellis Knee injury latest:  The Saints big man spent the week bench pressing his way to a new team record with an incredible 5 reps at the 1 million lbs weight (Warning: maybe exaggerating).  He did participate in some practice sessions and is listed officially as questionable.  Let's hope we go with caution on this one as he'll be of more value returning against the Pats in Week 12.  

Jonathan Goodwin Saints Center:  The man with the name that sums up most Saints games this season is still having problems with his ankle.  He is said to be probable to return.

Darren Sharper Saints Safety:  The man with the plan, the big cheese, the unstoppable, indefatigable, Safety legend is set to return against the Bucs and I for one am doing cartwheels in my head.  Hopefully Super Sharper can add to his league leading tally of interceptions and grace us with another 90+ yard touchdown return in Week 11.  Here's hoping anyway.

And finally, the man who stops traffic in the down town area himself...

Mr. David Thomas Saints TE:  After his stellar performance against the Rams in Week 10 it is a relief to know that Saints legend in the making David Thomas participated fully in practice on Friday and is probable for the Bucs game.  With the Reggie Bush injury status looking grim it's a relief to have our quality back up Tight End healthy for the short pass play.

And that's all for this week.  Here's hoping for a Jonathan Goodwin tomorrow against the Bucs...  Oooh man that was bad, I'll get my coat.

Reggie Bush Injury Report

The Reggie Bush injury report news is that... he's fine and dandy and looking forward to a big day againt the Rams (I just used that headline to grab your attention for some lesser known Saints and their injury status going into week 10).
          
Latest Sedrick Ellis injury news: The Saints DT did not participate in practice because of his ongoing knee injury.  The big man is still a few weeks away from a return.  However the Sedrick Ellis bench press work out routine is in over drive building up the numbers with all the time spent on his back.  I've heard he can now bench press the entire Falcons team in one rep.

Groin - The Jabari Greer injury hotspot of choice:  Greer also did not participate in practise giving him more time to spend with his 'Jabari Greer Saints Helmet Player of the Week Award' following his excellent performance against the Falcons in Week 8.

Lance Moore Ankle Injury:  No practise for Moore this week (apart from on Madden 2010 which he's reported as being quite good at now).

NEWSFLASH - Reggie Bush Injury Report Latest...  He's STILL fine and dandy so we return to our scheduled programming...
 
Jonathan Goodwin Saints Centre:  His Ankle injury limited his participation in practice leaving him with a questionable status according to the NFL... What, the Ankle or his mind?

Darren Sharper Knee Injury:  Sharper is reported as questionable following limited participation in practice. Unfortunately that means more time to help Mrs. Sharper with the house work and gardening chores.

Marques Colston Injury more of an Illness:  The Pro Bowl bound Saints wide receiver did not fully participate in practice as he reportedly has the snuffles.  His chances of playing are rated as probable, dependant on the amount of Vix inhaler he can shoe horn up his nostrils.

Scott Fujita Injury Update:   The Saints veteran LB is still trolubled by the calf injury that has kept him sidelined for some weeks now.   The latest reports say he is probable to play which will be a big relief to Michelle over at Saints Rants.

Garrett Hartley Status:  A left ankle problem is reportedly troubling this man monster but there's no way such a minor fault is going to stop him from playing.  No way Jose! 

Marvin Mitchell Foot Injury:  The Saints LB is rated as probable which comes as huge relief to the city of New Orleans.  What?  I'm being serious, I like the guy.

And finally

Zach Strief Saints Tackle:  Is ill but rated as probable (What no rubbish quip?  Ed.).

And that's your injury fix for the Week 10 match up with the St Louis Rams...

But what's this?  Hold the back pages, the latest Reggie Bush Injury Report is in and...  He has a paper cut on his left index finger.  A paper cut people.  Oh the humanity.

I think I speak for all of us when I say the people of New Orleans Parish will be praying as one for Reggie tonight.
