Brian Cushing torn ACL .. out for season - Page 3 - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

BlueSteel · 10-08-2012

If anyone can figure out a way to mix up our LB core it will be Wade. Assuming Cush is out for a few games minimum.

Please good Lord please let Brian Cushing be okay.

yeah no point in speculating. That's what the MRI is for. I'm really hoping that it's a bruise and he's out for a few weeks.

FWIW, this is what Lance Zierlein just retweeted (including the picture)...

Every Texans player coming through with a hug and/or handshake for Cushing.

610 just reported that Kubiak is VERY concerned re. Cushing's knee.

**PapaL** · 10-08-2012

Damn.

That sums it up.

TdotTexas2Step · 10-08-2012

Dammit.

It's looking like a season ending injury.

speedfreek · 10-08-2012

Sucks, but that is the NFL.

Let's see what the Mercilus pick can grow into..

TJ

TheMatrix31 · 10-08-2012

**** the Jets.

TheIronDuke · 10-08-2012

We should ask Philly if we can have Demeco back. Is Sharpton available soon?

Mailman · 10-08-2012

I'm gonna go ahead and assume he's out for the year. The quotes from Kubiak and the handshakes/hugs from teammates say we're out a Pro Bowl LB.

**Dutchrudder** · 10-08-2012

TIME FOR BRADY JAMES TO STEP UP!!!!!!!!

...please?

ThaShark316 · 10-08-2012

If not an ACL, I'm THINKING it's what Schaub had in 2008.

TdotTexas2Step · 10-08-2012

This is around the time we lost Mario, and Brooks Reed emerged, so really hoping we strike gold again with Mercilus getting an opportunity.

there has been no real evidence so far, as texans fans we are use to the worst so for sanitys sake Im hoping he only misses reualr season and will be back for playoffs. we can work around cushing im happy it wasnt our qb this time. nobody can replace shaub

TexanSam · 10-08-2012

We lost Mario Williams last year and had a hobbled Demeco for much of last year, and we didn't lose a beat. Obviously, Cushing is more important on defense than they were, but we should be able to continue to play at a really high level. Hopefully Dobbins is ready.

Correct, but Kubiak usually plays it close to the vest with the injuries that aren't season-enders. His concern speaks volumes.

**SAMURAITEXAN** · 10-08-2012

Not Cush, please.

Not sure it's an accurate comparison. DeMeco wasn't QBing this defense, THIS iteration of our defense.

Losing Cushing for the year will be a SIGNIFICANT blow to this team. Book it.
