Bush went down on the Browns’ sideline after pursuing a play in pass coverage which fell incomplete. It’s took assistance from the training staff for Bush to get back to the Steelers sidelines. He was able to walk into the locker room under his own power.
Before leaving the game, Bush had three tackles and 0.5 sacks. He was replaced by linebacker Robert Splaine.
On the ensuing drive, the Cleveland Browns scored a touchdown to bring the score to 24-7 inside the final two minute of the half.
UPDATE: Bush has been downgraded to OUT per Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
