Bush still missing from practice

Reggie Bush had hoped to test his injured leg in practice today, but he remained on the sidelines as the Saints began preparations for Sunday night's game against the Steelers.

Bush was optimistic on Monday that he could practice today for the first time since suffering a fractured right fibula in Week 2. 

"I expect to go out there and see what I can do," he said Monday. "I don't know if I can practice, if I'm going to be 100 percent. I'm just going to go out there and give it my best shot."

That shot will have to wait until at least tomorrow ... if not longer.
