  Lions | Rafael Bush likely will start    Sun Aug 7, 02:04 PM

Detroit Lions SS Rafael Bush has received most of the snaps with the first-team defense during training camp and likely will start next to FS Glover Quin this season.

Footballguys view: Bush is inheriting a position that was a very good IDP spot for James Ihedigbo over the last few years. He should be a priority waiver wire pickup in IDP leagues.

  Saints | Jairus Byrd undergoes surgery    Fri Oct 3, 02:45 PM

New Orleans Saints FS Jairus Byrd (knee) underwent surgery Friday, Oct. 3, after tearing his lateral meniscus in practice Thursday, Oct. 2. He said his surgery will require extra rehab because it's a 'bucket-handle tear.' Byrd's surgery was a success and a full recovery is expected, according to head coach Sean Payton. S Rafael Bush will replace Byrd in the starting lineup.

Footballguys view: Byrd was a prized free agent for the Saints earlier this year. Their defense has already been underperforming this year, and we're unsure how it will get better without Byrd in the lineup.

  Saints | Injury notes    Tue Aug 26, 11:48 PM

New Orleans Saints WR Kenny Stills (quadriceps), SS Rafael Bush (undisclosed), SS Marcus Ball (undisclosed), LB Khairi Fortt (undisclosed) and FB Erik Lorig (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Tuesday, Aug. 26, and CB Trevin Wade (undisclosed) was limited.

Footballguys view: Stills has barely played this summer. His star is falling in redraft leagues and his absence is doing nothing to slow down the Brandin Cooks express and the resurgence of Marques Colston. Unless Still falls to the 11th-12th round or later, Cooks and Colston are much better picks at their ADP.

  Saints | Rafael Bush works with first team    Thu May 29, 03:03 PM

New Orleans Saints SS Rafael Bush worked with the first-team offense in practice Thursday, May 29.

Footballguys view: With Kenny Vaccaro and Jairus Byrd recovering from injury and surgery (respectively), it's a chance for guys like Bush to make an impression and hold off guys like UDFA rookie Pierre Warren. Once everyone is healthy though, he'll go back to being an occasional guy in three-safety sets and likely never to start.

  Saints | In early discussions with four     Wed Feb 26, 05:23 PM

The New Orleans Saints are in early discussions with OT Zach Strief, LB Parys Haralson, SS Rafael Bush and WR Joe Morgan on new contracts. All are scheduled to become free agents in March.

Footballguys view: Morgan has stretch the field speed and he projected to be Devery Henderson, but better before he tore his ACL in training camp. Retaining him would be a good idea for this team unless they are smitten with the possibilities of Kenny Stills as a deep threat.
