ATLANTA -- A second examination of Reggie Bush's injured left knee by Birmingham orthopedist Dr. James Andrews confirmed the original diagnosis of a torn posterior cruciate ligament and Bush will miss the rest of the season, a league source with knowledge of the results said Monday night.

"It's been a very bad knee for about four weeks, and he shouldn't have been playing on it," the source said.

Bush had missed some practice time with a shin bruise in previous weeks, but an MRI exam last Thursday evening after Bush had fully participated in that day's practice revealed the PCL tear.
