Lions tailback Reggie Bush did not play Sunday against the Washington Redskins. But he'll play next week, he guarantees it. "I guarantee I'll play next week," he told MLive.com in the locker room following an emotional 27-20 win. Guarantee? You sure? "Yes," he said. "Knee's good. I'll be back this week." Bush appears to be on the precipice of returning to the lineup next week against the Chicago Bears. "It was a little bit precautionary (to hold me out), to make sure I was 100 percent this week, and also at the same time just don't want to hurt it even more (or) have any setbacks," said Bush, who has a lengthy injury history.

I read earlier today that he could have played against the Redskins but the Lions front-office wanted to hold him out to be healthy for the "long haul."
