The Steelers have declined the 5th-year option on former 10th-overall pick LB Devin Bush. None of Bush's 3 seasons to date has seen him remain a full-time player throughout. He has struggled in both coverage and run defense, which isn't a great combo for any defender -- much less a 1st-round LB. At this point, we're not betting on a big rebound for Bush's fantasy value/outlook in any setting.

The Steelers on Wednesday placed LB Devin Bush on the COVID list. That likely knocks him out for Sunday's game at Kansas City. Bush's absence wouldn't be a big loss for either the Pittsburgh defense or IDP lineups, though. Robert Spillane figures to start next to Joe Schobert if Bush is out.

Steelers ILB Devin Bush left Sunday's win over the Broncos in the 4th quarter with a groin injury. It's the 2nd time this season Bush has injured his groin. We'll see about the time table for his return. Robert Spillane filled in and would enter the starting lineup if Bush misses further time.

Steelers ILB Devin Bush returned to full practice participation Wednesday. That's a particularly noteworthy turnaround after he missed Week 2 with a groin injury. Bush appears on track to return Sunday against the Bengals. OLB T.J. Watt also put in a limited practice just 3 days after leaving the loss to the Raiders with a groin injury. We'll track Watt throughout the week. OLB Alex Highsmith missed practice with his own groin injury but is merely a low-level IDP option at this point. CB Joe Haden (groin) practiced on a limited basis after missing Week 2.

Steelers LB Devin Bush (groin) is inactive for today's game against the Raiders. His absence boosts the tackle upside for LB Joe Schobert. CB Joe Haden (groin) is also inactive, leaving Pittsburgh without it's lead cover man.

Steelers LB Devin Bush popped up on the Friday injury report with a groin issue that limited his participation and rendered him questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. We'll check Bush's status Sunday morning, but the injury could make him a risky IDP starter even if he's active.

New Steelers LB Joe Schobert revealed big plans for his usage after his 1st practice with the team Sunday. According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Schobert says the Steelers have him learning the dime role and plan to have him wear the green dot and call plays in the huddle. Both of those aspects point to full playing time and Schobert likely leading the position group in snaps. The "dime" package generally includes just 1 LB. And the helmet with the green dot -- and radio inside -- can only be worn by 1 player on the field at a time. So bet on Schobert leading Pittsburgh's ILB group in fantasy points, just as he did with his 1st 2 teams. This is bad news for LB Devin Bush. LB Robert Spillane, meanwhile, returns to a backup role.

Steelers ILB Devin Bush tore his left ACL in Sunday's win over the Browns, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Robert Spillane filled in for Bush against Cleveland and figures to take over the starting job, but we'd bet on starter Vince Williams seeing increased playing time and leading the position in that category going forward.

Steelers ILB Devin Bush left in the 2nd quarter of Sunday's game against the Browns and has been ruled out the rest of the way. That doesn't seem to bode well for his Week 7, but we'll keep an eye out for more on his status.

The Steelers have moved up from 20th to 10th in the 1st round of the NFL Draft to select LB Devin Bush. The former Michigan LB delivered the class' 2nd-best speed score at the position (121.5) and ranked 8th in the class in 2018 sacks per game (0.38). Bush supplied just 44 and 41 solo tackles over 2 seasons as a starter. He should fight for a starting job right away at a position where the Steelers' top 2 played 71% and 54% of the snaps last season. Pittsburgh also added former Ram Mark Barron in free agency.
