Reggie Bush knee injury could take him out for the season

A partially torn left knee ligament could sideline the New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush for the rest of the season.

Reggie Bush knee injury could take him out for the season The New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush had suffered a partially torn left knee ligament and this injury could be a season-ender for the RB. The injury will not require surgery and will heal on its own, but according to some reports, Reggie Bush could be sent home for the rest of the season, not risking aggravating the knee. Saints head coach Sean Payton did not confirm the rumors of season-ending injury, but said he will list Bush as questionable for the Monday night football game against the Atlanta Falcons and the running back will be a game-day decision. The Saints will play the Atlanta Falcons on Monday at the Georgia Dome and despite Reggie Bush injury, New Orleans remains -4.5 points favorite against the spread at the online bookmaker Bodog Sports.

"We'll monitor where he's at. I'm still hopeful for this weekend's game based on how he practiced yesterday," coach Payton was quoted on Friday. Reggie Bush practice on Thursday, but after that his knee got swollen and an MRI showed a partially torn left knee ligament, and the Saints running back sat out Friday's practice.
