Bush recorded nine tackles, including seven solo and two for a loss, in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Steelers in Week 6.

Bush lead the Browns with a season-high nine stops against the team that drafted him in 2019. He and rookie Carson Schwesinger are helping make up for the loss of Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (neck). The rookie leads Cleveland with 52 tackles followed by Bush's 45, which includes 28 solo stops.

Bush registered six tackles (four solo) during the Browns' 21-17 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Bush finished Sunday's game tied with Greg Newsome for the third most tackles on the Browns behind Carson Schwesinger (12) and Ronnie Hickman (10). Bush is up to 36 total tackles through the first five games of the regular season, and he has logged at least six stops in each contest. The 2019 first-rounder is on pace to surpass his tackling total from the 2024 campaign (76 tackles across 16 games).

Bush tallied nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's Week 4 loss to Detroit.

Bush had eight tackles, including one sack, in Sunday's 41-17 loss to Baltimore.

Bush was the Browns' leading tackler on the day and tops the club through two weeks with 15 tackles. Sunday's sack was the first of the season for Bush, who had just one in 16 games last season. He added one quarterback hit and two passes defensed.

Bush recorded seven tackles (four solo) in the Browns' loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Bush started and played 75 percent of the defensive snaps at linebacker alongside Jerome Baker and Carson Schwesinger. In addition to the seven tackles, Bush also logged one pass breakup and one quarterback hit on Joe Burrow. Bush appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Browns last season, making 10 starts, and finished with 76 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass breakups.

Bush and the Browns agreed on a one-year, $3.25 million contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Bush will remain in Cleveland after compiling 76 total tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed over 16 regular-season games with the team last season. The 26-year-old will look to maintain his level of production in 2025, likely operating as the team's top option at strongside linebacker.

Bush (thigh) is inactive for Saturday's Week 18 matchup versus the Ravens.

It was an ominous sign when Bush was a late addition to the Browns' injury report Saturday morning, and the veteran linebacker will ultimately be forced to miss his first game of the campaign. Bush had ben hovering around a 50 percent defensive snap-share count since Week 12 while also contributing on special teams. He'll finish the 2024 campaign with 76 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass defenses over 16 contests. Bush will be a free agent at the conclusion of the campaign.

Bush (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's Week 18 battle against Baltimore, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

It's unclear when Bush picked up the injury -- though he began the practice week labeled with an elbow issue, he was able to log a full practice each day and didn't have an injury designation until early Saturday. It's also unclear how serious the thigh issue is or what the likelihood is of Bush missing Saturday's regular-season finale. If he can't play against the Ravens, Winston Reid could be in line for more defensive snaps.

Bush recorded six tackles (one solo), including a tackle for a loss, in Sunday's 27-14 defeat to the Steelers.

The linebacker now has 63 tackles (36 solo), including 1.0 sacks, on the year. Bush has only played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps twice this season, but he has clearly been active when he's been on the field.

Bush recorded eight total tackles (six solo), including two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints.

Bush was one of the few bright spots on the Browns' defense in Sunday's blowout loss, finishing as the team's second-leading tackler. The 2019 first-round pick from Michigan has now played 71-plus percent of the Browns' defensive snaps in consecutive games, recording 16 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks and an additional two tackles for loss. He's expected to continue making plays for Cleveland's defense ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Steelers on Thursday night.

Bush tallied eight tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Chargers.

Despite the defeat, Cleveland did a good job getting to Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, racking up six sacks as a team. Bush had one of those sacks, pulling down Herbert for a two-yard loss with under a minute remaining in the second quarter. The sack was the first of the season for Bush and his first since he collected 2.0 sacks for Pittsburgh in 2021.

Bush recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 34-13 loss at Washington.

Bush logged a season-high 61 defensive snaps with Jordan Hicks (elbow) out in Week 5, and he led his team in tackles in turn. If either Hicks or Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (undisclosed) is out for Week 6, Bush could have some IDP appeal.

The Browns signed Bush to a one-year deal Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 2019 first-round pick spent the first four years of his career with the Steelers and he'll be coming back to the AFC North after signing with Cleveland on Thursday. Bush played 10 or fewer defensive snaps in seven of his 13 games last season, but he still recorded 37 total tackles, including five tackles for loss. The Michigan product will likely have the chance to compete for a starting spot in the Browns' linebacker corps this offseason.

Bush posted 37 tackles (18 solo) across 13 games during the 2023 season.

Bush logged 10 or fewer defensive snaps in seven of 13 games this season, averaging 18.2 defensive snaps overall. Still, Bush stacked up a whopping 18 tackles in a Week 17 loss to the Steelers, his former team. He'll turn 26 years old in July and will be a free agent in March, so Bush may look for a starting job elsewhere but will likely end up with backup duties again.

Bush finished Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers with a game-high 17 total tackles (five solo).

Bush's 17 combined tackles is a career high for the Texas Tech product. It was his first game against the Steelers, who drafted him in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Bush got the start at inside linebacker alongside Bobby Wagner with Jordyn Brooks ruled out with an ankle injury. If Brooks doesn't show improvement leading up to the Seahawks' pivotal regular-season finale against the Cardinals, Bush should draw the start for a second straight week.

Bush could start Sunday's game versus the Steelers if Jordyn Brooks (ankle) is out, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com, coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Brooks was unlikely to play in Week 17, which would indicate that Bush has a good shot to start Sunday. In 17 games with Pittsburgh last season, Bush recorded 81 tackles (44 solo).

Bush (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.

Bush appeared in three of Seattle's first four games, recording three tackles across 54 defensive snaps. However, with Jamal Adams back in action and willing to handle some snaps at linebacker, it looks like Bush is being phased out of the Seahawks' defensive scheme.

Bush (shoulder) is absent from the Seahawks' final injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

After a few limited sessions, Bush was a full participant at Friday's practice. Look for him to take on his usual role providing depth at linebacker assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Bush (shoulder) was a limited participant at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Bush missed the team's 37-31 overtime win over the Lions in Week 2 while nursing a shoulder injury. He'll look to increase his workload at practice Friday prior to the team's Week 3 contest with Carolina on Sunday.

Bush (shoulder) is inactive Sunday against the Lions.

Bush's absence will weaken the inside linebacker spot for Seattle on Sunday, with Nick Bellore, Jon Rhattigan and Drake Thomas as candidates to see extra snaps there. Bush will try to return Week 3 against the Panthers.

Bush (shoulder) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game at Detroit, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

After a quiet debut with his new team in Week 1, Bush now appears to be a coin flip proposition to play in Week 2. If he has to sit out, Nick Bellore could end up rotating in at inside linebacker Sunday.

Bush recorded one solo tackle in the Seahawks' 30-13 loss to the Rams in Week 1.

Bush put together an uninspiring first contest with the Seahawks after signing with the team in the offseason. The 25-year-old is operating as a backup option in 2023 and could be limited to only marginal production compared to his past campaigns.

Bush is listed as a backup on the depth chart ahead of Sunday's game versus the Rams.

This isn't surprising now that Jordyn Brooks has been cleared from his ACL injury and Bobby Wagner is back in town. Bush could handle an additional workload while the Seahawks ease Brooks back in. However, Bush will have an inconsistent workload when Brooks is 100 percent.

Bush (concussion) returned to practice Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Bush has seemingly cleared the league's concussion protocol with his return to practice. Barring any setbacks, he looks on track to take the field in Seattle's Week 1 matchup with the Rams. The 25-year-old is projected to rotate at inside linebacker for the Seahawks this season.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Saturday that Bush sustained a concussion during Saturday's 19-15 preseason loss to the Packers, John Boyle of Seattle's official site reports.

Bush recorded just one tackle after starting Saturday's preseason finale, and he appeared to sustain this injury during a punt in the third quarter. The 25-year-old signed a one-year contract with the Seahawks this offseason after a disappointing 2022 campaign with the Steelers when he recorded 81 tackles and two passes defended over 17 games. When healthy, Bush will look to re-ignite his career while playing behind six-time All-Pro Bobby Wagner and Jordan Brooks, the latter of which is expected to play Week 1 after suffering a torn ACL on Jan. 1.

Bush (knee) posted four tackles in Saturday's 22-14 preseason win over the Cowboys.

Bush was previously dealing with a knee injury during training camp, but he confirmed that he's past that injury with his return to live action. The 2019 first-round pick is expected to back up Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks (knee) this season as long as Brooks is ready for Week 1. Brooks cleared a physical Aug. 15 but has yet to return to live action.

Bush missed Saturday's practice with a swollen knee, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Bush had an impressive preseason debut in Thursday's 24-13 win over Minnesota, recording five tackles, but he appears to be a little worse for wear heading into the weekend. The linebacker has a history of knee issues, so Seattle is likely not in a hurry to get him back on the field.

Bush signed a one-year contract with the Seahawks on Friday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Bush will head to Seattle after spending four seasons with the Steelers following his selection in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The linebacker suffered a torn ACL in 2020 and struggled to return to his rookie form in the past two seasons, but he'll look for a fresh start with the Seahawks. Considering it is a one-year deal, Bush will have to prove himself in 2023 ahead of potentially testing the open market again next offseason.

Bush recorded 81 tackles (44 solo) and two pass defenses over 17 games in 2022.

Although Bush appeared in every game this season, his workload significantly decreased over the final two games of the year, as he was limited to just nine defensive snaps during that time. He had his highest mark in tackles since he racked up 109 tackles during his rookie season in 2019, but it was discouraging to see his decreased snap count late in the year. The 2019 first-rounder is slated to hit unrestricted free agency during the offseason, and it's possible he seeks out another team in hopes of getting a fresh start.

Bush logged eight tackles (two solo) and one pass defended during Monday's 24-17 victory versus the Colts.

Bush led his team in tackles while finishing as just one of three Pittsburgh defenders to play every snap against Indianapolis. The 24-year-old saw an increased role with fellow linebacker Robert Spillane (back) inactive Week 12, as he played 100 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps for the first time in 2022. Bush now has 76 tackles, one sack and four passes defended over 10 games this season. He could continue to step up into an every-down role if Spillane remains sidelined against Atlanta on Sunday.

Bush (knee) was listed as a full participant on the Steelers' injury report Thursday, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Bush was sidelined with a knee injury during practice Friday after playing 84 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps against New Orleans in Week 10. While the nature of this issue was unclear, the inside linebacker now appears to be doing fine after logging a full session Thursday. Bush has recorded 47 tackles and one pass defended over nine games this season, and he should reprise his usual starting role against Cincinnati on Sunday.

Bush (knee) didn't pracitce Wednesday, Chris Halicke of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Bush played his usual role during the team's Week 10 win over the Saints, but he appears to have picked up a knee injury that has sidelined him for the start of Week 11 prep. The 2019 first-round pick will have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.

Bush recorded six tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Dolphins.

It's been an underwhelming first seven weeks of the 2022 NFL season for Bush, who has reached double-digit tackles just once and has yet to collect either a sack, interception or forced fumble/fumble recovery in the campaign. However, the fourth-year linebacker is expected to remain one of the Steelers' defensive focal points for Sunday's contest in Philadelphia.

Bush tallied 11 tackles (six solo) during the Steelers' 29-17 loss to the Browns on Thursday.

Bush sustained a foot injury during last week's game against New England, but he was a full participant during the Steelers' only practice session ahead of Thursday's primetime matchup. He didn't seem to be on a significant snap count, as he played 76 percent of the team's defensive snaps and recorded a season-high 11 tackles. Over the first three games of the season, he's totaled 20 tackles (10 solo).

Bush was a full participant at practice Tuesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Bush injured his foot during Sunday's game versus New England, but it appears he has fully recovered and will be ready to go Thursday at Cleveland. He should be in for a busy game across from a run-heavy Browns offense.

Bush (foot) is expected to practice Tuesday, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Bush sustained a foot injury in Sunday's loss to the Patriots, and Tuesday will be the Steelers' only chance to practice before facing the Browns on Thursday. It's encouraging that Bush intends to participate in practice, but how his foot responds Tuesday will likely determine Bush's status for Thursday's game.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said that Bush will be evaluated for a foot injury following Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Patriots, Alan Saunders of PittsburghSportsNow.com reports.

Bush seems to have sustained a potential foot injury at some point during Pittsburgh's loss in Week 2, as he came into Sunday's game with a clean bill of health. The starting inside linebacker recorded four tackles (two solo) during this game, though his final stop came early in the third quarter. Bush's status will be worth monitoring moving forward as the Steelers have a short week of practice heading into Thursday's game against the Browns.

Bush has struggled over the first several weeks of training camp, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.

Bush missed most of the 2020 season due to a knee injury, and he logged 70 tackles (41 solo), two sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and four pass defenses last year. He saw a slight decrease in snaps late in 2021, and the team didn't pick up the fifth year option on his contract during the offseason. While the 2019 first-rounder has continued to draw praise from most of his coaches, he's had some plays in which he's struggled early in camp. As a result, Bush isn't guaranteed a starting role to begin the regular season. However, even if Robert Spillane wins a starting job, Bush should still have opportunities to carve out playing time as long as his play improves once the regular season begins.

The Steelers didn't pick up the fifth-year option on Bush's rookie contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Bush is still under contract for the upcoming 2022 campaign, but he's now on track to hit the open market after the season. He played in 14 games a year ago, registering 70 tackles (41 solo), two sacks, four passes defensed and one forced fumble.

The Steelers activated Bush (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

Bush was away from the team for two weeks after he tested positive for COVID-19, but he'll now be cleared to return to practice. He'll likely be available for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against Baltimore.

The Steelers placed Bush (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Bush played 65 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Titans. It's not yet clear whether the 23-year-old has tested positive for the virus, but Ulysees Gilbert could see increased playing time Sunday against Kansas City if Bush and Marcus Allen (undisclosed) are unavailable.

Bush recorded eight tackles (three solo) and two passes defensed in Thursday's 36-28 loss to Minnesota.

Bush was Pittsburgh's leading tackler in the loss and also contributed as a defender in the passing game. The 2019 first-round pick has 61 tackles (36 solo) through 12 games.

Bush (groin) was listed as a full participant in practice Wednesday.

Bush suffered a groin injury during the Steelers' win over the Broncos on Sunday. The linebacker sustained a groin injury earlier in the season and it's unclear if Bush aggravated his same groin injury from Week 2. After recording a full practice Wednesday, Bush should be able to play Sunday against the Seahawks.

Bush suffered a groin injury during Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

It's unclear if Bush aggravated the groin injury he was dealing with earlier in the year or if he suffered a new injury entirely. Either way, he will likely be at least limited in practice Wednesday, which could put his status for Week 6 in jeopardy.

Bush has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Broncos with a leg injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Bush exited the game in the second half and was originally deemed questionable to return. He was ruled out shortly thereafter, though he did manage a sack prior to his exit. Bush dealt with a groin injury earlier in the season, which cost him one contest.

Bush tallied six tackles (five solo) and one sack in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Packers.

Bush ended Green Bay's opening drive Sunday with his first sack of the season on third down. The 2019 first-rounder was held out of Pittsburgh's Week 2 matchup against the Raiders due to a groin issue, but he's played a prominent role when healthy. Bush has totaled 18 tackles (11 solo), one sack and one forced fumble across his first three appearances of the season.

Bush (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Bush was held out Week 2 due to a groin injury, but he now looks back to full health and on track for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bengals. However, fellow linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) was limited Wednesday and is looking iffy for Week 3.

Bush (groin) is inactive for Steelers' Week 2 matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Bush returned from a torn ACL in Week 1 against Buffalo to rack up 10 tackles. However, he picked up a groin injury during the week of practice leading up to the Week 2 contest and will now be sidelined. Robert Spillane and Marcus Allen will likely see an increased role in Bush's absence.

Bush is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt with the Raiders due to a groin injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Bush practiced in limited fashion Friday after being a full participant all week prior. The severity of his groin issue is unknown, but it is enough to draw a questionable designation. Marcus Allen would presumably be next in line to fill in at inside linebacker should he end up having to sit out.

Bush posted 10 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Bills.

Bush doesn't look like he has missed a step after tearing his ACL last October, as he tied with safety Minkah Fitzpatrick for the team lead in tackles. The Michigan product has significant IDP upside after posting 109 tackles, four pass breakups, two interceptions and a sack across 16 games as a rookie.

Bush (knee) recorded two solo tackles in Thursday's 24-16 preseason win over the Eagles.

Bush was on the field for 22 percent of the Steelers' defensive snaps in Thursday's exhibition matchup, which was the first time he had seen game action since he suffered a torn ACL in Week 6 of the 2020 campaign. As long as the 23-year-old can remain healthy during the preseason, he figures to handle an every-down role for the Steelers in 2021.

Bush (knee) has progressed far enough in his recovery from ACL surgery that he should be fully cleared for training camp, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Bush is recovering from an ACL tear sustained Week 6 against the Browns, and for which he underwent surgery in October. If he's indeed progressed well enough in his recovery to practice fully when Pittsburgh's training camp kicks off July 22, it an be considered a convincing sign for his chances of resuming an every-down role by Week 1. As a rookie back in 2019, Bush exploded with 109 tackles ( 72 solo), one sack, four pass breakups and an interception.

Bush (knee) said Wednesday that he's about 80-90 percent healthy, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Bush tore his ACL during the Steelers' Week 6 win last year and underwent surgery in October. He's progressed well in his rehab during the offseason and has been able to practice in a limited capacity this spring. The 22-year-old hopes to be back to full health by the start of training camp and should handle a significant role in Pittsburgh's defense once again in 2021.

Bush (knee) is on schedule with his rehab, according to teammate Zach Banner (knee), Noah Strackbein of Sports Illustrated reports.

Bush and Banner are both recovering from ACL tears, which is why they were each only able to participate in a small portion of Thursday's practice. The soon-to-be 23-year-old handled every defensive snap through five appearances last season, before going down to injury. Bush will look to bounce back to rookie-year form during the 2021 campaign, when he notched 109 tackles (72 solo) and looked the part of a high-end IDP fantasy asset.

The Steelers placed Bush (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.

Bush is set to miss the rest of the 2020 campaign due to a torn ACL sustained Week 6. In the second-year standout's stead, Marcus Allen is expected to start at inside linebacker. The transaction coincides with the promotion of Henry Mondeaux to the 53-man roster.

Bush suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's win over the Browns and will undergo season-ending surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Bush played every defensive snap this year before the injury. The Michigan product was a rising star on the Steelers' defense, as he recorded 26 tackles, a sack and three pass breakups through five games while showcasing impressive pass-coverage abilities. The 22-year-old will be placed on injured reserve soon and start rehabbing for the 2021 season. Marcus Allen is expected to start at inside linebacker moving forward.

The Steelers believe Bush tore his ACL during Sunday's win over the Browns, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.

The team plans for Bush to undergo an MRI on Sunday night to confirm the extent of his injury. This would be a devastating loss for the Steelers' defense. The second-year linebacker stacked up 26 tackles, a sack and three pass breakups through five games this year. Marcus Allen stepped in at inside linebacker when Bush exited Sunday's game, and he'll likely stay in a starting role if Bush's injury is confirmed.

Coach Mike Tomlin said following Sunday's win over Cleveland that Bush has a "significant" knee injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Bush was forced to leave the game during the second quarter, was was quickly ruled out following further treatment from trainers. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but expect the team to evaluate Bush on day-to-day basis. Marcus Allen took over at inside linebacker Sunday with Bush out, and he'd be the favorite to do so again should Bush miss significant time.

Bush was ruled out of the remainder of Sunday's game against the Browns with a knee injury.

Bush was forced out of the game in the second quarter, and after receiving further treatment from the training staff, he failed to gain clearance to return. Now that he's officially out, expect Marcus Allen to continue an increased role for the contest. Bush will have just one week to get healthy for Week 7 against the Titans.

Bush (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

With Pittsburgh carrying a 24-7 lead into the halftime break, the Steelers will not elect to haphazardly push the 2019 first-round pick back into action. Bush did not take a single defensive snap off between Weeks 1 and 4, but team trainers will examine the status of his knee before determining if he can retake the field.

Bush racked up seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 26-21 victory over the Broncos

Bush played every defensive snap for the Steelers and helped keep the Broncos under 100 rushing yards on the day. The Steelers have a home matchup against the Texans in Week 3.

Bush posted seven tackles (five solo) in Monday's 26-16 win over the Giants.

Bush was explosive in his rookie season with 109 tackles, a sack, four pass breakups and two interceptions, and he kept the momentum going in the tackle department. The 22-year-old linebacker finished second only to Terrell Edmunds in stops for the Steelers, setting himself up well for another triple-digit campaign.

Bush (shoulder) notched one tackle during Sunday's preseason win over the Titans.

Bush didn't match the 10-tackle standard he set during Pittsburgh's first preseason matchup versus the Buccaneers, but he does appear clear of his shoulder injury. The rookie first-round pick appears fully on track for the regular-season opener.

Coach Mike Tomlin said Bush didn't suit up for Saturday's preseason win versus the Chiefs due to a shoulder injury, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Bush was all over the field in his pro debut last Friday, racking up 10 tackles against the Buccaneers. Tomlin didn't elaborate on the severity of the injury, but Bush could be held out of the Steelers' next two games to make sure the 2019 first-rounder is as healthy as possible for the regular season.
