The Detroit Lions released running back Reggie Bush on Wednesday.

Bush, who turns 30 in March, played in just 11 games in 2014, gaining 530 yards from scrimmage.

The previous year — his first in Detroit after signing a four-year, $16 million deal — he rushed for 1,006 yards and four touchdowns while catching 54 passes for 506 yards and three scores.

The No. 2 pick in the 2006 draft, Bush has rushed for 5,465 yards and 35 touchdowns and caught 466 passes for 3,489 yards and 18 touchdowns in nine seasons with the New Orleans Saints (2006-2010), Miami Dolphins (2011-2012) and Lions.

He was scheduled to make $3.5 million in 2015. The team will save $1.7 million against the salary cap by releasing him now.

His departure leaves Joique Bell and Theo Riddick as the Lions’ top two backs.
