Ryan Grant, RB GB

Packers RB Ryan Grant (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday and is expected to start at Detroit in Week 12 on Thanksgiving Day. He's officially listed as probable.

Michael Bush (leg) did not practice with the Raiders on Wednesday.

Apparently the Raiders would rather keep LaMont Jordan on the active roster than release him to make room for Bush and allow Kansas City to the chance to snap Jordan up. It's not official yet, but Bush has not been activated from the Non-Football Injury list and could be headed for injured reserve.

Update to Coachnorm's post

Quote:

I am reading that Texans RB Ahman Green may be headed to Injured Reserve, if the Texans decide to activate Rookie RB Darius Walker. Now doesn't get all excited as this only really has fantasy impact on Green owners in most cases. But if you are in a dynasty league with huge rosters he may be worth a flyer as the job security in the Texans backfield isn't all that great. He may not even be available in some leagues but he is in my fantasy.com leagues.

Texans | Walker signed to active roster
Wed, 21 Nov 2007 11:47:15 -0800

It's official now:

Raiders | Bush to remain on the PUP list
Wed, 21 Nov 2007 16:04:01 -0800

Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush (leg) was not activated off the Physically Unable to Perform list Wednesday, Nov. 21. Since Wednesday was the last day to activate him, Bush will remain on the list. Head coach Lane Kiffin said part of the reason Bush was not activated was because they would have had to release either RB LaMont Jordan or RB Dominic Rhodes, and they did not want one of their division rivals to sign the one they released.

Bucs RB Michael Pittman missed practice Wednesday after re-aggravating his sprained ankle and head coach Jon Gruden is concerned that he could miss the rest of the season.
