According to Jason LaCanfora of CBS, Bush (ankle/back) is not in line to play Thursday against the Bears.

Analysis:

We'll verify Bush's status upon the release of Detroit's Week 13 inactives, but per the report, the running back's ankle is still not responding well, adding that the Lions are hopeful that Bush will be able to play in Week 14's contest against the Bucs. Joique Bell is thus slated to head the Lions' backfield Thursday, with Theo Riddick on hand to work in a complementary role.
