ANDY REID has announced that Deon Bush will miss the entire upcoming season following a tear of his left Achilles tendon against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Kansas City Chiefs safety suffered the injury while attempting to accelerate away during their 20-17 loss to the Cards on Saturday.

Reid said: “Bush is an Achilles. He has got to have surgery on it.
“He will get double checked here but I think we’re looking at surgery there.
“It’s too bad because he’s really been playing well, great kid too.”
Bush went down under no contact in the middle of the play, and appeared distraught as he was carted off the field.
He was consoled by Reid and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but still covered his head with a towel while being taken for medical evaluation.

His interception on Lamar Jackson in 2024 helped his team win the AFC Championship and secured the path to his second straight Super Bowl victory.
The injury piled on the misery for the Chiefs, who suffered a loss in the game following Bush’s removal, their first preseason outing of the year.
Andy Reid tried to remain optimistic following the result, and began his press conference by highlighting the positives of the performance.
Reid told the media: “There were some good things, even though it didn’t come off that way.
“The one’s I thought played well when they were in, they were sharp.
“After that, we were too sloppy, too many penalties.”
The Chiefs leapt into an early lead in the contest, stripping the ball from the kick returner before taking it back for a Jason Brownlee touchdown just two plays later from a Patrick Mahomes pass.
A Cardinals field goal was just a blip on the Chief’s way to a second touchdown courtesy of rush from backup quarterback Gardner Minshew II.

But it all went wrong as penalties mounted and the Cardinals struck back with two unanswered touchdowns before half time.
The teams held each other to a field goal a-piece in the second half, handing an uninspiring loss to the Kansas City faithful.
Reid added: “We were going backwards when we shouldn’t be offensively, and going forward with the penalties we had defensively.
“We have got to take care of that.”
Reid’s men have preseason outings against the Seattle Seahawks and the Chicago Bears to iron out that sloppiness ahead of their season opener at the Chargers next month.
