Detroit Lions RB Reggie Bush (knee) said he could have played in Week 3 against the Washington Redskins if it were a playoff game. ‘I feel good, man,’ Bush said. ‘Honestly, I could have played today but it was coaches and doctors that decided it was best to sit this one out. Just to not risk any further injury. If it was a playoff game, I would have been in there.’
Footballguys View: The Lions were being wisely cautious with Bush in Week 3. Washington’s run defense is incredibly weak and there was no need to risk further injury with Bush. Joique Bell filled in admirably and had a strong day for his fantasy owners. Bush said he’ll be 100 percent healthy and ready to go in Week 4 against the Chicago Bears.
