Urlacher thinks Forte's absence will allow RB Michael Bush to learn the offense during the workouts.

Sometimes you're not in control of that, and I respect that. Michael loves it here and loves playing for the Raiders and being a part of this organization, but any young man in these situations, they're going to do whatever they think is best for themselves and their families."
Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:09:09 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush carried 19 times for 66 yards in Week 17 against the San Diego Chargers, and he added two receptions for 13 yards. Bush ended up just 23 yards short of a 1,000-yard season, but his 977 rushing yards were good for a career best. Bush also totaled seven rushing TDs and one receiving score, giving him 16 totals scores over the past two seasons.
Sat, 31 Dec 2011 09:37:01 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush needs to rush for 89 yards to reach 1,000 yards for the season and C Samson Satele said the offensive line wants Bush to get to that milestone in Week 17. Bush has not rushed for that many yards since Week 11.

Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:23:28 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush (shoulder) was limited in practice Thursday, Dec. 22, but he should be at full strength for the team's Week 16 game.

Offensive coordinator Al Saunders thinks the team needs to rely more on Bush in their next matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:38:28 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush will square off against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16. He has had some of the best games of his career against the Chiefs.

Bush took over for an injured RB Darren McFadden (foot) in Week 8 and rattled off 99 yards on 17 carries. In three games Bush has replaced McFadden against the chiefs, he's gained 355 yards on 56 carries, and that doesn't include a 16-carry, 90-yard effort in 2008 with most of the damage coming in the second half when McFadden exited early with turf toe.

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:38:26 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush averaged 115.3 yards per game in his first four games as the primary back after RB Darren McFadden's (foot) injury. Bush's production has dipped dramatically the past three games, however. He averaged 55 yards in those games, with an average of five fewer carries than the previous four contests. Head coach Hue Jackson dismissed the prospect of Bush wearing down, even though Bush already has 38 more rushes than he did in any of his first four seasons. "When people know that's who you're lining up back there, you design ways to make sure you get him slowed down," Jackson said.
Sun, 11 Dec 2011 19:36:51 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush carried 23 times for 78 yards and a touchdown in the Week 13 game against the Green Bay Packers. He also added three receptions for 19 yards. The 97 total yards from scrimmage were his most since Week 11.

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 06:25:21 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush has received a heavy workload in the absence of RB Darren McFadden (foot). After carrying the football 30 times in Week 10 and Week 11, Bush was on the field for 68 of the 71 snaps on offense in Week 12.

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:30:11 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush has carried 30 times in each of his past two games, and he might see another huge workload in Week 12 with RB Darren McFadden (foot) still uncertain, and RB Taiwan Jones (hamstring) nursing an injury. "That'd be 90 in three games. That's pretty good," head coach Hue Jackson said Monday, Nov. 21. Jackson said Bush didn't appear to be showing any signs of strain under the load. Bush is just 15 rushing yards shy of the team lead behind the injured McFadden.

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 06:15:07 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush has rushed for 352 yards and added 130 yards receiving during RB Darren McFadden's (foot) absence. Bush said he has no problem carrying the load at running back. "It's cool getting the ball," Bush said, "but it's what I'm supposed to do. Running the ball. Like I told the coach, 'Just feed the stud,' I told him that last week. 'Give me the ball and let's see what we can do.'"
Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:49:43 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden (foot) is unlikely to play in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings after missing practice Wednesday, Nov. 16. McFadden will likely have to practice Thursday, Nov. 17, to have a shot at returning. RBs Michael Bush and Taiwan Jones are expected to share the load for the fourth straight game.
Fri, 11 Nov 2011 07:51:35 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush said the team communicates better since the arrival of QB Carson Palmer than in the past.

"He was talking to everybody, asking questions, just getting to know people, being a leader, being a quarterback."
Thu, 10 Nov 2011 21:40:59 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush rushed for 157 yards and one touchdown on 30 carries against the San Diego Chargers in Week 10. He also caught three passes for 85 yards in the game.
Tue, 08 Nov 2011 12:52:35 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden (foot) will miss his third straight game in Week 10 against the San Diego Chargers Thursday, Nov. 10. The Raiders will again use RBs Michael Bush and Taiwan Jones in place of McFadden. Fantasy Tip: Bush has shown that he is a very capable fill-in rusher with McFadden sidelined; Bush ran for 96 yards on 19 carries in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos and also added 33 yards and a touchdown on two catches. Bush makes for an excellent flex play this week against the San Diego Chargers on Thursday, and is even an acceptable RB2 in deep enough leagues. Jones didn't see enough work in Week 9 to be considered for your starting lineup.
Sun, 06 Nov 2011 17:58:21 -0800 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush carried 19 times for 96 yards in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. He also added two receptions for 33 yards and a score. Bush was making the start with RB Darren McFadden (foot) still sidelined by injury.
Fri, 04 Nov 2011 20:50:45 -0700 Oakland Raiders RB Michael Bush is expected to make the start in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos, and rookie RB Taiwan Jones is expected to see some carries as well. The duo will see the most work with RB Darren McFadden (foot) ruled out.
Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:13:59 -0700 Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden (foot) is sitting out of practice Friday, Nov. 4, and there is little chance of him playing against the Denver Broncos in Week 9. RB Michael Bush is expected to start in his place.
