Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush tore his ACL in the team's 38-7 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and will require season-ending surgery, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Bush -- the 10th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft -- left in the second quarter after appearing to take an awkward step while attempting to break up a pass. He had not missed a defensive snap all season.

The 22-year-old had 19 total tackles this season, after recording 89 along with two interceptions and a sack in his rookie campaign.
