In addition to this, Tomsula non committal on linebacker NaVorro Bowman playing on Saturday. If he does, it may be for a very limited time. Tomsula did state that he plans on playing him at some point during the preseason.
Running back Reggie Bush also will not see action against the Texans with Tomsula stating that he knows enough about him already. "I know who that guy is and what that guy does," said Tomsula.
Running back Jarryd Hayne, who will see a lot of action, and receiver DeAndrew White are likely to share the punt return duties on Saturday.
Tomsula also said Reggie Bush would not play. "I know who that guy is," he said. He's "going back and forth" as far as Bowman playing.
