Steelers Injury Updates: Devin Bush to Have ACL Surgery Wednesday

Published

Steelers linebacker Devin Bush will have surgery to repair his ACL on Wednesday, head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday.

Bush was injured in the second quarter of the Steelers’ Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns and will miss the remainder of the season. Tomlin did not have a further prognosis on the timeframe that it will take Bush to return from the surgery. Typical ACL surgeries require at least six months of recovery.

Tomlin said that at least for this week’s game against the Tennessee Titans that Bush will largely be replaced by second-year backup Robert Spillane.

The Steelers have two players that will be questionable against the Titans, according to Tomlin: fullback Derek Watt, who re-aggravated his hamstring injury against the Browns, and slot cornerback Mike Hilton, who suffered a shoulder injury.

Additionally, David DeCastro (abdominal strain) and Diontae Johnson (back) are expected to practice this week after missing the game.

Offensive lineman Stefen Wisniewski (pectoral strain) is continuing his work in returning from the injured reserve list.
