I think the Texans are more concerned with dealing with the injury than trying to properly categorize his status for the public. If they said he was questionable even though they knew he would be out, I don't think they really cared it was misinformation at that point.

Roland Martin is a Political guy with CNN. He is a big fan and apparently very connected.....I believe it....I guess we will see tomorrow!

Speaking out on the available ILB's Ruud should be good.

If it IS a torn ACL, how will he be in 2013?

I am not familiar with the various ligament injuries in a knee...so am wondering if this is something you put a brace on and you're not obviously 100% but yet you're still able to function relatively well.

THoughts?

Don't know, maybe someone can tweet him and tell him to get ready for a phone call, because one maybe coming his way from the Texans FO...

When did they list him as questionable? During the halftime interview R. Lord asked Kubiak about Cushing and without hesitation he straight up said "He's out".. he didn't sound too optimistic about it either.

Hahahahaha!

Exactly.

Except it's not just the Kubiak years.

Wasn't Tony Boselli supposed to be our anchor on the O-line for many years?

Wasn't Domanick Davis/Williams supposed to be our franchise running back?

Why did the title change? What new information do we have? There hasn't even been an MRI yet!

Ruud absolutely sucked it up last year. I would rather roll with the 2 one dimensional run stoppers

Title changed....

I am still holding out some hope that it is a sprain...please let it be a sprain...

Chuck the waterboy sent me a text message. He's definitely in the loop.

On the local broadcast, Kubiak never said he was questionable.. He flat out said "He's out".

[gtexan02]

if it turns out to be a sprain the OP of this thread is getting a big dose of negative REP, because I'm officially freaking out about losing him for the year

[Lurvinator11]

More and more reports on twitter.

Guys, this isn't looking good. At all.

Can we move on without the Cush?

I like our chances, I know he is a big blow, but our front 4 have been pretty good and the secondary as well.

The best thing coming out of this will be the defense rallying around the fallen cush and playing with more intensity.

I believe in this team.

Everyone is. Twitter's going nuts.

But thanks for letting me off the hook.

There were some "Cushing questionable to return"s from various reputable sources on Twitter after it happened.

We got confirmation he was out after the half.

The Questionable listing came from ESPN's sideline reporter shortly after the injury. She later said he was ruled out.
