Pierre Thomas will carry the load in an ideal matchup, with Mike Bell chipping in as an early-down change of pace back. Coach Sean Payton said Bush likely wouldn't even be available for punt return duties. The Saints want to avoid a setback with Bush's knee, which he's had surgically repaired several times before. They'll likely play it safe so he's available for the stretch run.

Moore, who has no timetable to return, is fantasy waiver wire fodder.

Jenkins started out as the nickel back last week before moving to a full time role after Tracy Porter suffered a knee injury. Jenkins did "really well" according to coach Sean Payton and shouldn't be a liability for the Saints pass defense.

"Hopefully we can practice him tomorrow," said coach Sean Payton. "At the same time, I don't want to set it back." Bush is coming off a heavier than usual workload at St. Louis, and the knee flareup will likely have Payton thinking twice about expanding his role down the stretch.

Moore hasn't practiced since Week 8 and should be considered "week-to-week" with a high ankle sprain. Robert Meachem will continue to see extra snaps in his place.

Coach Sean Payton indicated that Bush is dealing with swelling in his knee, though there's no indication that he's in danger of missing this week's game at Tampa. Bush is no better than a flex play if he does suit up on Sunday.

"Lebron James could not play in the NFL!" Shockey tweeted Wednesday. "Espn is crazy to even think he could even make a practice squad. Hes a 4.9 40 time." James was a first-team all-Ohio receiver as a prep sophomore and led his team to the state semifinals as a junior before quitting to focus on hoops. At 6'8/250, though, a 4.9 wouldn't be very impressive.
