Despite Rumors, Raiders have yet to Interview Anyone

A league source tells Profootballtalk.com that the Raiders still haven’t held any head coaching interviews. “Reports that we’ve interviewed prospective head coaches are totally untrue, totally false,” club spokesman John Herrera said Tuesday.

Pierre Thomas Banged Up

Saints RB Pierre Thomas (ribs) has been ruled out for Week 17. Reggie Bush will likely start against the Panthers, though Mike Bell is a better bet for carries and touchdowns.

Reggie Bush won’t be a Saint in 2010

Yahoo’s Jason Cole reports that the Saints do not plan on bringing back Reggie Bush in 2010. Bush is scheduled to make $8 million in 2010, which is an extremely large amount for a change-of-pace back.

Dwight Freeney will not play Sunday

Dwight Freeney (abdomen) did not travel to Houston Texans and will not play against the Texans. It’s a little surprising because Freeney has been playing hurt for awhile now and the Colts never seemed too concerned about this injury.

Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin (ankle) sat out practice Wednesday and coach Ken Whisenhunt indicated afterwards that Boldin will probably will miss Week 9. “We’ll do what it is the best interest of the team,” Whisenhunt said.
