Saints running back Reggie Bush removed himself from practice this morning and watched the remainder of the outdoors workout with his left knee wrapped in ice.

Bush, who underwent microfracture surgery on his left knee in December, has missed several practices already this training camp, one as a precautionary measure and the other when his surgically repaired knee became inflamed.

Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson was back on the practice field Wednesday, and participated in all drills. He missed a couple of days because of a left knee MCL sprain

Brian Seltzer, of 950 ESPN Philadelphia, twittered that Eagles RB Brian Westbrook was running for coach Andy Reid. Things seem positive and Westy may be back soon.

Very interesting. Right now Andy Reid watching Brian Westbrook run cutting conditioning drills. He’s simulating running thru tacklers…

Rick Burkholder is there as well. Looks like they’re trying to determine the extent of what he can do. He’s moving uninhibited

Going at full speed. First time Andy has observed Westbrook in this fashion. His conclusions could be instrumental in determining his return

Andy and Brian handshake it out. Seemed very, very positive. Workout lasted 10 min. This could signal a return is imminent. Stay tuned…

Giants QB Eli Manning is on the verge of signing a six-year contract extension. The deal could be finalized Wednesday, Aug. 5, barring any major setbacks, according to a team source. The deal will make Manning the highest-paid player in the history of the Giants organization as well as the highest-paid quarterback per year in NFL history.
