Deon Bush Fantasy

Former Chicago Bears free-agent safety Deon Bush signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday, according to his agents. Bush had his best season in the NFL last year, recording a career-high 40 tackles (31 solo), two interceptions and five passes defensed in 14 games (four starts). The 28-year-old will give the Chiefs some more depth in the secondary, while also contributing on special teams. Bush was originally a fourth-round pick by the Bears in 2016 out of Miami. He has a total of 89 tackles (73 solo), three interceptions, one sack, 10 passes defensed and one forced fumble in 79 career games (12 starts) in his six seasons with the Bears.

The Chicago Bears placed defensive back Deon Bush (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve and linebacker Robert Quinn on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Bush was injured in the Week 6 loss to the division-rival Green Bay Packers and will now be forced to miss at least the next three games. The sixth-year pro has 15 tackles and two passes defensed through the first six games of the year. Safety Teez Tabor was promoted to the active roster from the practice squad as a result. Quinn has 5.5 sacks, 19 tackles and five tackles for loss so far in 2021, so Chicago's defensive line could be at less than full strength in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if he isn't cleared from the league's protocols this week.

The Chicago Bears are re-signing safety Deon Bush to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Bush re-signed with the Bears last offseason, too, and he lost out on the starting job opposite Eddie Jackson to Tashaun Gipson in training camp. He also suffered an injury early in the season, which caused him to lose more playing time with the emergence of DeAndre Houston-Carson. Gipson is also a free agent, so Bush and Jackson are currently the only safeties on the roster. Bush has been a reliable safety and special teams contributor, although he has just one interception in his five seasons with Chicago. The 27-year-old had only five tackles, one interception and two passes defensed in 11 games (zero starts) in 2020.
