Veteran running back Reggie Bush released by Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions have released running back Reggie Bush after two seasons with the team.

Bush still had two years to run on his four-year contract, but he scored just two touchdowns in 11 games last season.

This, along with the emergence of Theo Riddick, has ended his time with Detroit, who were his third side after he enjoyed stints with the New Orleans Saints and the Miami Dolphins.

Bush has 35 career touchdowns in nine NFL seasons.
