Running back Reggie Bush broke a bone in his lower leg in the fourth quarter of the New Orleans Saints' victory Monday night in San Francisco, according to multiple reports.
Bush, who only a week ago returned the 2005 Heisman to the Heisman Trophy Trust and said he was ready to move on with his career, broke his fibula, according to a report by ESPN's Adam Schefter. He'll have more tests today in New Orleans.
"It's been a pretty tough week," Bush said. "It's just the way life goes."
The injury, which occurred as Bush recovered a punt he'd muffed in windy Candlestick Park, is not believed to be season-ending. Bush, according to a NewOrleans.com report, is expected to be out a minmum of six weeks.
"I'm just trying not to think the worst and just try to stay as positive as I can in this situation," Bush said. "That's all you can do, hope for the best."
Bush was hurt with 6:58 left in the game New Orleans won, 25-22.
"Last second it kind of shifted a little bit, just enough for me to drop it," he said.
"I tried to recover it and somebody took my leg out. I don't know who it was, what happened or how it happened. I just know my leg got taken out. That's it."
