Tailback leaves game after taking a hit to the ribs Monday, October 29, 2007By Tammy Nunez

SAN FRANCISCO -- To those struck by fear when Saints tailback Reggie Bush hobbled off the field in the third quarter of Sunday's 31-10 victory at San Francisco after being hit in the ribs, feel free to exhale. Bush was only "slightly bruised" and called the hit "a normal part of the wear and tear" of the game.

But that wasn't clear when 49ers cornerback Nate Clements burst into the backfield to smack Bush, who had caught a short pass on the right side with 3:03 remaining in the third quarter.

"He's fine," Saints Coach Sean Payton said. "He had bruised ribs, and it wasn't real significant."
