Reggie Bush will have arthroscopic knee surgery on Monday and is expected to miss three to four weeks, NFL Network’s Adam Schefter reports.

Saints coach Sean Payton told reporters at his post-game presser that Reggie Bush will not make the trip to London. Bush, who is dealing with a sore knee, missed an extended portion of Sunday’s game in Carolina.

Reggie Bush will miss the remainder of the Saints-Panthers game with a knee injury. He had missed some practice earlier in the week with swelling in his knee. Bush finished with one catch and 60 scrimmage yards.

After virtually ignoring running back Deuce McAlister in the season’s first three weeks, the Saints plan to use him extensively Sunday versus the San Francisco 49ers.

Until now, the Saints have been cautious with McAlister, who still is recovering from last season’s torn ACL. He has had only two carries for 10 yards. The Saints believe McAlister’s knee is structurally sound, and they plan to work him into their offense against the Niners.

New Orleans RB Deuce McAlister is active for the Saints’ game against the Buccaneers. RB Aaron Stecker and CB Mike McKenzie will be inactive for the game.
