Broken fibula suspected for Reggie Bush

Broken fibula suspected for Reggie Bush

Saints running back Reggie Bush, who suffered a leg injury late in Monday night's win over the 49ers, may have suffered a broken bone in his right leg.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the initial diagnosis is a fractured fibula. A league source tells us that the team is "pretty sure" that the injury is a fractured fibula.

The injury occurred in a pileup that happened after Bush muffed a punt return in the fourth quarter.

After the game, Bush said (per ESPN), "I hurt like hell. I got back up and tried to walk on it. It felt terrible."

Bush could missed six weeks as the bone heals. That would mean he'd miss games against the Falcons, Panthers, Cardinals, Bucs, and Browns. He'd also miss the take-that-World-Series showdown with the Steelers on October 31.

That sucks for the Saints, I knew it didn't look good when they carted him to the locker room.

As a fantasy owner, should I replace him, or save him for later in the year use?

I'd hold onto him, unless you feel the need to replace him.

You dump him someone will pick him up later, no doubt.

I kept him and instead replaced Ricky Williams with Jacoby Jones.

That's a good move, but the bastard better not have a good game against us.
