“Bush's injury was a noncontact one, too, as he fell to the turf when he tried to change directions and accelerate upfield. A few minutes later, Bush was consoled by coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes before being carted off the field. While on the cart, Bush put a towel over his head,” wrote ESPN’s Nate Taylor.
“Deon was having a good [training] camp, too,” Reid said, per ESPN. “He's got to have surgery on it. It's too bad because he's been playing really well. He's a good kid.” Despite the injury being a no-contact one, Bush had suffered a torn Achilles tendon, Reid confirmed.

“A nine-year veteran, Bush was hoping to make one of the final spots on the Chiefs' initial 53-man roster. He joined the Chiefs in 2022 and was a contributor to the team winning back-to-back Super Bowls,” Taylor wrote. “Bush's biggest highlight with the Chiefs was his interception in the second half of the 2023 AFC Championship Game win over the Baltimore Ravens.”
