Report: Saints' Rafael Bush suffered fractured fibula, not broken tibia

Saints safety Rafael Bush sustained a fractured right fibula Week 11 vs. Cincinnati and not a broken right tibia as first diagnosed, a league source told The New Orleans Advocate. A fractured fibula is considered less serious than a broken tibia.

Bush told reporters following Sunday's game he hurt his leg making a tackle with fewer than five minutes left in the contest. Bush said the original diagnosis was he sustained a broken tibia, but he was expected to undergo further evaluation.
