The Contra Costa Times' Jerry McDonald does not believe Michael Bush (hand) will be able to play in Week 1.
Our View
When asked whether or not Bush would be able to play in Week 1, McDonald responded, "No. Not this soon after surgery." It sounds pretty clear that Bush will need at least another week or two before he sees the field.

The News
Josh Freeman was not a full participant in the Buccaneers' practice on Wednesday and was wearing a splint on his thumb, according to the Pewter Report.
Our View
This is a bit strange, since he was a full participant yesterday and apparently got through the practice without any pain or trouble. We still expect him to start for Tampa Bay on Sunday, though his availability isn't quite as certain today as it seemed yesterday.

The News
Cedric Griffin (knee) is listed as questionable for the Vikings' game against the Saints on Thursday night, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Judd Zulgad.
Our View
The Vikings could really use him out there with Chris Cook out. Either way, they'll have a tough time stopping Drew Brees and gang.

The News
Owen Daniels (knee) will likely be limited to 20-25 snaps in Houston's Week 1 matchup against the Colts, according to Nick Scurfield of the team's official site.
Our View
Daniels' knee is healed, but he's still not in playing shape. He certainly deserves to be owned given his upside down the road this season, but we wouldn't suggest having him in your lineup initially.

The News
Bills head coach Chan Gailey has confirmed that C.J. Spiller will start for his team on Sunday, according to WGRZ Buffalo.

The News
Rodney Carney has signed with the Warriors, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Our View
The team could announce the signing sometime today. Carney is a fine athlete who will provide depth at shooting guard and small forward.

The News
Cullen Jenkins has been dealing with a sore calf but returned to practice on Wednesday, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Greg Bedard.
Our View
He should be good to go for the season opener against the Eagles. He has little to no IDP value but will help the Packers' overall defense.

The News
Toby Gerhart (knee) is listed as questionable for the Vikings' game against the Saints on Thursday night, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Judd Zulgad.
Our View
Albert Young will back up Adrian Peterson if Gerhart is unable to go. Still, we'd prefer Gerhart as the handcuff to Peterson entering the season.
