Bell is officially OUT for this Sunday's game.
New Orleans running back situation is in a state of flux going into Sunday's game against Buffalo as leading rusher Mike Bell won't play. Bell missed practice all week with a sprained MCL in his right knee. Coach Sean Payton didn't want to discuss the running back rotation after Friday's practice. The Saints could use a trio of running back against the Bills with Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush and Lynell Hamilton all seeing possible action.
(Updated 09/25/2009).
With Bell out, Thomas @ < 100%, and Sean Payton's penchant for using anybody and everybody, I'd be reluctant to start any Saint's RB except Bush.
....and Bush is starting to look like a "Must Start".
