Tampa, FL -- (Sports Network) - New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush returned to the team's lineup Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, after missing the previous four games.

In Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bucs, Bush had five receptions for 32 yards and three carries for zero yards.

Bush hadn't played since an October 19 loss to Carolina -- he hurt his knee in the contest, then had to recover after arthroscopic surgery.

The former Heisman Trophy winner entered Sunday's game having scored eight touchdowns this season, including three on punt returns. He has rushed for 294 yards and has also posted 42 catches for 366 yards.
