Bush making progress

Remember Michael Bush? The Raiders rookie is reportedly making progress and impressing his coaches. "He's the lowest he's been at his weight for over a year," head coach Lane Kiffin tells the Oakland Tribune. "He looks great, and he's been buying into our program. He's been great in the weightroom with our staff. He looks really good." Bush opened the season on the PUP list. He broke his right leg on September 3, 2006 and needed multiple surgeries. The latest operation came in March, when he had a steel rod inserted into the leg. Bush is potentially two weeks away from returning, which would further crowd the Raiders backfield. We don't expect him to come back and make an impact so quickly, but his presence could turn out to be a lingering nuisance for LaMont Jordan owners. And we still believe Bush is the long-term solution.
