Cleared to play Sunday
Bush (foot) is active for Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Titans.
Analysis: Bush missed Cleveland's first two practices this week but was able to log a limited session Friday. That will be enough for him to take the field against Tennessee. Bush has logged a defensive snap share above 70 percent in each of Cleveland's contests this season, and that figures to continue to be the case Sunday, provided he avoids aggravating the foot issue.

Questionable for Sunday
Bush (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Titans, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Bush managed to upgrade to limited participation in Friday's practice after being unable to participate earlier in the week. The strongside linebacker is in danger of missing his first game, but his ability to practice Friday and be tagged as questionable instead of doubtful are both good signs that indicate he'll be able to take the field Sunday. If the starter can't go, Jerome Baker will likely take over his duties Sunday.

Analysis: Bush has stacked up 82 tackles, five pass breakups, 2.0 sacks and a pick-six through 12 games this season. He's in danger of missing his first game of the season unless he can practice in a limited fashion by Friday. Jerome Baker likely will start at strongside linebacker if Bush can't go.

Active in win
Bush recorded nine tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and a second quarterback hit in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Raiders in Week 12.
Analysis: Bush was one of several defenders to have an impact in a dominating performance by Cleveland's defense. Per Zac Jackson of The Athletic, the sack was the result of blockers paying more attention to Myles Garrett (3.0 sacks), leaving Bush a clear alley to quarterback Geno Smith. It was Bush's second sack of the season and first since Week 2. He's up to 75 tackles (11 games), which ranks second on the team and puts him within reach of the career-best 109 stops recorded as a rookie for the…read more

Won't play in season finale
Bush (thigh) is inactive for Saturday's Week 18 matchup versus the Ravens.
Analysis: 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.

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.

Late addition to injury report
Bush (thigh) is questionable for Saturday's Week 18 battle against Baltimore, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Coming to Cleveland
The Browns signed Bush to a one-year deal Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 2019 first-round pick spent the first four years of his career with the Steelers and will 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 for the Seahawks, but he still recorded 37 total tackles, including five tackles for loss.

Still, Bush racked 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.

Tackling machine vs. former team
Bush finished Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers with a game-high 17 total tackles (five solo).
Analysis: 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.

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

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

Practices without restrictions
Bush (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: 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.

Sidelined by groin issue
Bush (groin) is inactive for Steelers' Week 2 matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
Analysis: 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 increased roles in Bush's absence.

Listed as questionable
Bush is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt with the Raiders due to a groin injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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 Bush end up having to sit out.

Rings up 10 stops in return
Bush posted 10 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Bills.
Analysis: 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.

Plays 10 snaps Thursday
Bush (knee) recorded two solo tackles in Thursday's 24-16 preseason win over the Eagles.
Analysis: 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.

Expects to be fully cleared
Bush (knee) has made ample progress in his recovery from ACL surgery and is expected to be fully cleared for training camp, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Bush tore his ACL in Week 6 against the Browns and underwent season-ending surgery in October. The linebacker has apparently avoided any major snags in the rehab process, and if he's able to practice in some capacity when Pittsburgh's training camp opens Thursday, he should be on track to handle an every-down role Week 1. As a rookie in 2019, Bush exploded on the scene with 109 tackles ( 72 solo), one sack, four pass breakups and an interception in 16 games.

Continues to progress
Bush (knee) said Wednesday that he's about 80-to-90 percent healthy, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Bush tore his ACL in Week 6 win last season and underwent surgery in October. He's progressed well in his rehab 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 he should handle a significant role in Pittsburgh's defense once again in 2021.

Rehab on schedule
Bush (knee) is on schedule with his rehab, according to teammate Zach Banner (knee), Noah Strackbein of Sports Illustrated reports.
Analysis: 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 linebacker handled every defensive snap through five appearances last season, before going down to injury. Heading into the 2021 campaign, Bush will look to bounce back to the form he displayed as a rookie in 2019, when he notched 109 tackles (72 solo) and looked the part of a high-end IDP fantasy asset.

Shifts to injured reserve
The Steelers placed Bush (knee) on injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: 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.

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

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

Dealt bad injury news
Coach Mike Tomlin said following Sunday's win over Cleveland that Bush has a "significant" knee injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Bush was forced to leave the game during the second quarter and 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.

Done for day
Bush was ruled out of the remainder of Sunday's game against the Browns with a knee injury.
Analysis: 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.

Being evaluated by trainers
Bush (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Career-high 12 tackles in defeat
Bush recorded 12 tackles (11 solo) in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: The first-round draft pick ended the season with a team-high 12 tackles - a personal best for the rookie linebacker. Playing in all 16 games, Bush finished the 2019 season with a team-high 109 tackles, including a sack. He also had two interceptions, one forced fumble and four fumble recoveries -- one of which he returned for a touchdown. Look for Bush to add to his highlight reel in 2020.

Notches five tackles in loss
Bush made five tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Bush has not logged more than seven tackles since Week 5 after making eight or more in four of his five games up to that point. Nevertheless, he needs just three more to reach 100 on the season.

Low tackle count Sunday
Bush tallied four solo tackles in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Bush has now recorded less than six tackles in four of the last six games. The rookie linebacker played 83-percent of the Steelers' defensive snaps, so his lack of production is not due to a lack of playing time. He will look to bounce back against the Jets in Week 16.

Leads team in tackles
Bush recorded seven tackles (five solo) in Pittsburgh's 20-13 win over Cleveland on Sunday.
Analysis: Entering the contest, Bush led the Steelers in tackles and now has 86 on the season. The rookie linebacker has been an integral part of a defense that has held opponents to 13 points or less in three of the last four games. In Week 14 Pittsburgh will face an Arizona offense that averages over 21 points per game but was held to just seven points in Week 13.

Struggles on D
Bush had three tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Rams.
Analysis: The Pittsburgh defense dominated all game, limiting the Rams offense to 88 rushing yards and no touchdowns, though it was a relatively quiet game for Bush. The three tackles were his fewest in a game after he recorded seven or more in every other game this season. He still leads the team with 69 tackles and will look to contain Cleveland running back Nick Chubb -- second in the league with 919 yards rushing -- in check in Week 11. Pittsburgh held Chubb to 65 yards on the ground in a 33-18 win…read more
