Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush was listed as questionable on the team's official injury report, but according to CBS Sports reporter Jason La Canfora, the team has already ruled out the veteran for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Bush has been in and out of the lineup the past month as he's battled an ankle injury. He was sidelined for the team's Week 6 and Week 8 contests against Minnesota and Atlanta and was significantly limited after re-aggravating the injury in the first quarter last week against Miami.

Lions coach Jim Caldwell said earlier this week he wouldn't hesitate to sit Bush until he was fully recovered.

With Bush out, it's expected Theo Riddick will see an increased workload. In the two games Bush was sidelined, Riddick caught 13 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns. With Bush back last week, Riddick was limited to just seven snaps, but he managed to catch the game-winning touchdown with 29 seconds remaining.

According to La Canfora, Bush is expected back when the Lions travel to New England to square off with the Patriots next week.
