| . (AP) - Reggie Bush has been reduced to a footnote in the wake of the Miami Dolphins' season opener, and that's not the role they envision for him.

Bush embraced his trade this summer from New Orleans to Miami because his new team pledged to make him the feature back. He played nearly every snap in Game 1. Bush made the Dol |
