Kansas City Chiefs safety Deon Bush is expected to miss the upcoming season after sustaining a torn left Achilles during the team’s preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday.
Bush suffered a non-contact injury while attempting to shift directions on the field during the second quarter of Kansas City’s 20-17 loss to Arizona.
“Bush is an Achilles, yes,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters. “So he’s got to have surgery on it; he’ll get double checked here. But, I mean, I think we’re looking at surgery there. It’s too bad because he’s really been playing well. He’s a great kid, too.”
Bush, 31, played in 95 games during his first seven seasons with the Chicago Bears and Kansas City. He has been limited to eight games over his past two seasons with the Chiefs.
A two-time Super Bowl champion, Bush has totaled 110 tackles and three interceptions since being selected by the Bears in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
