The New Orleans Saints were dealt another blow after their Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. While injuries have become a major issue for the Saints this offseason, the news on safety Rafael Bush wasn't good.

Bush, who started for injured Jairus Byrd, suffered a torn pectoral muscle, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.

It's unknown how much time Bush will miss this season, but it's a tough one to swallow. Here's to hoping for a quick recovery for the impending free agent.
