Brian Cushing torn ACL .. out for season

[Lurvinator11]

610 is now reporting that it IS in fact a torn ACL

[Ryan]

I'll wait for the MRI but I'm still expecting the same news. Wouldn't be a Texans season without an injury to one of our stars.

My biggest sadness is even IF we still have measured success this year, not having our heart and soul Cushing on the field yelling and getting everyone hyped up really pisses me off. Dude LOVES what he does, and loves pumping his boys up while playing. It's gonna eat him alive not being able to be out there if we indeed go deep or all the way to the Super Bowl.

That leadership will be missed. Just not the same if it's only on the sidelines or only in the locker room.

Same but I'm hopeful it's not as serious as an ACL season-ending injury. We'll find out tomorrow he'll be out 2 or 3 weeks (past the bye week maybe). Cushing is too much of a warrior to go down for the year. Maybe not the same as a broken leg, and this happened years ago, but remember when T.O. was supposed to be down for the year but came back to play in the Super Bowl for the Eagles like two months later? Cushing will be back. I have that strong faith.

Cushing is a warrior he might miss a few weeks or even a few months but he will be back !!!!!!!!

Didn't T.O. have a ankle injury?

When your knee is ****ed, your knee is ****ed.. I don't care how tough you are (trying to gut it out will only do further damage). There's a difference between being hurt and being injured..by all early accounts, right now Cushing is severely injured. He actually showed his toughness and the warrior inside him by trying to get off the turf and then walking off on his own power to the locker room (He didn't need a damn cart). Sadly though I think that's the last we're going to see this season. Still a tough SOB though.

Ugh. I'd have preferred to lose to the jets than lose Cush.

[LondonTex]

I was enjoying the game until that point.... win aside, that injury left a bad taste..I just pray its not season ending

Says who? John McClain? Is he a doctor? I mean let's wait for the MRI tomorrow. I'm going to hold on to hope until the last possible second.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J.—Texans star inside linebacker Brian Cushing left Monday night’s 23-17 win over the Jets with a left knee injury that may be severe. After the game, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle tweeted that Cushing appeared to be done for the season with a torn ACL, but that's speculation until doctors review an MRI.

Cushing went down in the second quarter. He limped off the field and into the locker room under his own power.

"We're very concerned, obviously, but I don't want to jump the gun here,'' Kubiak said. "They told me upstairs that he got cut on the play and his foot might have gotten stuck in the turf and bent.''

Asked how significant losing Cushing would be, Kubiak said, "I can't even go there. I'd talk myself in a hole if I do that. We'll wait until tomorrow.''

The 25-year-old Cushing is already a two-time All-Pro.

Kubiak's middle name is "I don't want to jump the gun". Players with reported hang nails end up going on I.R. under his watch. I think we can all see where this is headed, but yeah pray for the best... however still prepare for the worst (it's coming).

Maybe Cushing won't either. We can hope.

playoff caliber qb's will tear the inside of this linebacking core up. james has not been impressive. they need to go outside of the organization. trades? free agents?

If you've followed this team for a long time, you know it's not likely they'll look towards the outside to fill a need for starters. Dobbins will move up and whoever comes in will be relegated to special teams for a while.

As far as the D not looking great, it wasn't going to look awesome for all 16 games. The encouraging thing is that they seem to be more opportunistic than last year, albeit at the cost of giving up more yards.

Our D looked pathetic? Let me check:

points allowed: 10 - that´s pretty good
total yards allowed: 286 - that`s pretty decent
stoping 3d downs 72% of the time - that`s awesome
allowed 69 yards rushing - pretty good
217 yards passing and 1 TD - I´ll take that
14/32 completion percentage allowed - great
3 sacks - not bad
red zone: 2 trips no TDs - great
2 interceptions: great

I´ll take this pathetic defense every day if you ask me. Jojo looked bad and we allowed some throws - but in the NFL there are no easy games. Those guys are pros and they will make a play every now and then. If at all our own passing game was a little worrisome, not the defense. They always made the stop when they needed to.

As for Cushing... why? Why do we suffer those injuries to our best players every damn season. It is not Brady James, Shaun Cody or even Connor Barwin that gets injured, its our best defensive player (yeah, I still give that to Cushing over Watt and Jojo). Really hope its not season ending - if we could just get him back in time for the playoffs...

Man this sucks. I hope he makes a full speedy recovery. Good win but a terrible loss too. Next man up 2.0
