Steelers’ LB Devin Bush tore his ACL today and will require season-ending surgery, per source.

When Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush went down with a non-contact knee injury on Sunday we feared the worst. And it seems the worst is exactly what we are getting.
ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter tweeted out that Bush did in fact tear his ACL and is done for the season. Bush was having an excellent season and up until the injury had played every snap on the season.
Looking ahead, the Steelers need to determine who is the longterm answer at inside linebacker. Robert Spillane came in today and did a solid job but he could be pushed this week by Ulysees Gilbert III. Gilbert was inactive on Sunday but offers a much more athletic option for the Steelers if they want to go that direction. The Steelers also have hybrid safety/linebacker Marcus Allen who should get a look.
