ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions have restructured a second player in their continued efforts to stay under the salary cap.

This time it was tailback Reggie Bush, according to USA Today, who converted a portion of his salary into a bonus. Safety Glover Quin made a similar move in August.

Bush had been slated to earn $3.5 million in base pay this year. By converting some of that to bonus, Detroit will save money on their 2014 cap commitments.

The Lions will still be hit by that money, but now it is spread out over the life of the deal.

His total cap hit was originally expected to be $4.5 million this year, when including his original signing bonus, and then $4.5 million in 2015 and $5 million in 2016.

Bush has 15 carries for 41 yards through two games this year, plus eight catches for 55 yards.
