Bush was sidelined for most of the second-half of Sunday's game against the Saints due to a lingering ankle injury, ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Bush was sidelined last weekend because of an ankle injury, which prevented him from playing much Sunday as well. In fact, Bush was limited to just nine touches for 32 all-purpose yards versus New Orleans, while teammate Joique Bell handled 20 total touches. As a result, Bush's practice participation should be worthwhile to monitor throughout this week, especially with a favorable matchup against the Falcons' defense looming next Sunday.
