Reggie Bush, New Orleans Saints' running back, could miss six weeks of play after breaking his right fibular during September 20 Monday night's game where the Saints beat San Francisco 25-22.

The injury occurred during the fourth quarter after Bush's leg was hit as he dove in attempts to recover the ball. Trainers helped him off the field, and he was carted into the locker room.

Brian Allee-Walsh, reporter for NewOrleans.com, writes that after the game Bush left in crutches with an ice pack applied to his leg.
