After missing the past three games with his knee injury, Saints running back Reggie Bush could play Monday night vs. the Packers.

There’s a reason the Saints have struggled so much without Bush. Without him on the field and in the lineup, opposing defenses can blitz the Saints all they want. With Bush on the field, the Saints are capable of dumping off short screen passes to him whenever opponents come on the blitz.

Bush is the blitz neutralizer. Without him, the Saints clearly have not been the same.
