I think Bush's request has been turned down

According to Vic Carrucci at NFL.com, it has. In fact, the owners are apparently unlikely to change the uniform numbering system this year.

Hallelujah. I like it just fine the way it is.

What number will Kyle Turley wear? KC says they are bringing him in as a TE.

Dan Patrick had a nifty little way of getting around the NFL's numbering rule -- just say Reggie Bush is the 4th string quarterback -- and voila! He gets his #5 jersey!

TEs have the most flexibility when it comes to jersey #'s, they can wear
#80's, #40's, and even #10-#19, just as recievers do.
