The Lions suddenly have another injury situation to monitor with one of their offensive stars.
Via Tim Twentyman of the team’s official website, running back Reggie Bush did not practice today.
Bush did limited work on Wednesday, making his absence today more of a concern.
The ankle problem he’s dealing with caused him to miss the second half of last week’s comeback against the Saints, as well as the entire week before.
Of course, if they get Calvin Johnson back, he won’t be as missed. Johnson reportedly did more at practice today, and could be close to a return.
But the fact the Lions came back to beat the Saints last week without Bush or Johnson speaks to the maturation of the team as a whole, as well as quarterback Matthew Stafford.
