Bush's season done a game short, ruled out vs. Jets

BY NICK ST. DENIS

Reggie Bush was picking up as much steam as ever the second half of this season, but he'll be done a game short, as he's been ruled out of Sunday's season finale against the Jets with a knee injury.

Rookie Daniel Thomas will reassume his early-season role as the Dolphins' primary ball-carrier Sunday.

Bush went over 1,000 yards rushing for the season for the first time in his career and had a 203-yard day against the Bills. He's picked up at least 100 yards rushing in each of the last four weeks.

Bush, who has six rushing touchdowns since Week 9, got off to a slow start but made his way up to the NFL's ninth-best tally of 1,086 yards on the ground.
