Bush signed a one-year contract with the Seahawks on Friday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Bush will head to Seattle after spending four seasons with the Steelers following his selection in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The linebacker suffered a torn ACL in 2020 and struggled to return to his rookie form in the past two seasons, but he'll look for a fresh start with the Seahawks. Considering it is a one-year deal, Bush will have to prove himself in 2023 ahead of potentially testing the open market again next offseason.

Steelers' Devin Bush: Eight tackles Week 12
Rotowire
Bush logged eight tackles (two solo) and one pass defended during Monday's 24-17 victory versus the Colts.
Bush led his team in tackles while finishing as just one of three Pittsburgh defenders to play every snap against Indianapolis. The 24-year-old saw an increased role with fellow linebacker Robert Spillane (back) inactive Week 12, as he played 100 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps for the first time in 2022. Bush now has 76 tackles, one sack and four passes defended over 10 games this season. He could continue to step up into an every-down role if Spillane remains sidelined against Atlanta on Sunday.

Steelers' Devin Bush: Accounts for six tackles Sunday
Rotowire
Bush recorded six tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Dolphins.
It's been an underwhelming first seven weeks of the 2022 NFL season for Bush, who has reached double-digit tackles just once and has yet to collect either a sack, interception or forced fumble/fumble recovery in the campaign. However, the fourth-year linebacker is expected to remain one of the Steelers' defensive focal points for Sunday's contest in Philadelphia.

Steelers' Devin Bush: Dealing with groin injury
Rotowire
Bush suffered a groin injury during Sunday's contest against the Broncos, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
It's unclear if Bush aggravated the groin injury he was dealing with earlier in the year or if he suffered a new injury entirely. Either way, he will likely be at least limited in practice Wednesday, which could put his status for Week 6 in jeopardy.

Steelers' Devin Bush: Plays 10 snaps Thursday
Rotowire
Bush (knee) recorded two solo tackles in Thursday's 24-16 preseason win over the Eagles.
Bush was on the field for 22 percent of the Steelers' defensive snaps in Thursday's exhibition matchup, which was the first time he had seen game action since he suffered a torn ACL in Week 6 of the 2020 campaign. As long as the 23-year-old can remain healthy during the preseason, he figures to handle an every-down role for the Steelers in 2021.

Steelers' Devin Bush: Torn ACL feared
Rotowire
The Steelers believe Bush tore his ACL during Sunday's win over the Browns, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.
The team plans for Bush to undergo an MRI on Sunday night to confirm the extent of his injury. This would be a devastating loss for the Steelers' defense. The second-year linebacker stacked up 26 tackles, a sack and three pass breakups through five games this year. Marcus Allen stepped in at inside linebacker when Bush exited Sunday's game, and he'll likely stay in a starting role if Bush's injury is confirmed.

Steelers' Devin Bush: Being evaluated by trainers
Rotowire
Bush (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
With Pittsburgh carrying a 24-7 lead into the halftime break, the Steelers will not elect to haphazardly push the 2019 first-round pick back into action. Bush did not take a single defensive snap off between Weeks 1 and 4, but team trainers will examine the status of his knee before determining if he can retake the field.

Rotowire
Bush tallied four solo tackles in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Bills.
Bush has now recorded less than six tackles in four of the last six games. The rookie linebacker played 83-percent of the Steelers' defensive snaps, so his lack of production is not due to a lack of playing time. He will look to bounce back against the Jets in Week 16.

Rotowire
Bush recorded seven tackles (five solo) in Pittsburgh's 20-13 win over Cleveland on Sunday.
Entering the contest, Bush led the Steelers in tackles and now has 86 on the season. The rookie linebacker has been an integral part of a defense that has held opponents to 13 points or less in three of the last four games.

Steelers' Devin Bush: Struggles on D
Rotowire
Bush had three tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Rams.
The Pittsburgh defense dominated all game, limiting the Rams offense to 88 rushing yards and no touchdowns, though it was a relatively quiet game for Bush. The three tackles were his fewest in a game after he recorded seven or more in every other game this season. He still leads the team with 69 tackles and will look to contain Cleveland running back Nick Chubb -- second in the league with 919 yards rushing -- in check in Week 11. Pittsburgh held Chubb to 65 yards on the ground in a 33-18 win last season and allows the fifth and sixth fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in standard and PPR scoring formats respectively.

Steelers' Devin Bush: Scores first career touchdown
Rotowire
Bush had seven tackles (four solo), an interception and a fumble recovery for a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Chargers.
The rookie linebacker added to his highlight reel by forcing turnovers on consecutive first-quarter drives. Bush started the scoring when he grabbed a Melvin Gordon fumble and went nine yards to give the Steelers a 7-0 lead. On the next possession, Bush intercepted Philip Rivers, and seven plays later, James Conner scored to make it 14-0. Bush now has two interceptions, four fumble recoveries and a sack to go with his team-leading 52 tackles and is a must-start in IDP formats after Pittsburgh's Week 7 bye.
