Fans of the National Football League across the pond are disappointed tonight. New Orleans Saints running back and kick returner Reggie Bush will not travel with the Saints to London to play against the San Diego Chargers in next weekend’s NFL International Series game. Reggie injured the meniscus in his left knee and will require surgery. The estimated recovery time is 3-4 weeks but the exact range will not be known until doctors perform the operation tomorrow. Quarterback Drew Brees was understandably upset:
“Of course it’s tough. He’s a big-time playmaker. We’re going to miss him, and I hope he’s not out very long.”
Just when the Saints were starting to get healthy, they fall completely flat against division rival Carolina (a 30-7 thumping) today and lose arguably their most talented and electrifying player in the process. Now two games behind the Panthers and Tampa Bay Bucs in the NFC South, the Saints will have no choice but to win without Reggie Bush.
