Brian Cushing torn ACL .. out for season

gtexan02 said:
Why would they have made him questionable to return if it was a torn ACL?

If they knew it was a season ending injury, he'd be listed as doubtful or out.

I think its a serious knee sprain that will knock him out 6-8 weeks but he'll be back


Either way the Demeco Ryans move is looking pretty stupid now

Hindsight....Oh hum, not like the Texans knew Cush would get hurt, but again oh hum...

The had him as questionable after the injury was still somewhat recent. It later changed to OUT as the game progressed. The MRI won't happen till tomorrow probably where they'll know exactly what the outcome will be.

Demeco had a 5.9 m cap hit this year and a 8+ cap hit the three years after that. We are only a few hundred thousand under the cap, how can you keep him on the books and still sign Foster, Myers, Schaub, and Brown?

:vincepalm: grim news reported by 610, Cushing is on crutches and was not made available to reporters.. he was with his family only. Also there were players talking about moving forward without Cushing, early rumors are it's a torn ACL.

They did the ACL (drawer) sign test right on the sideline immediately after the injury occurred. If they felt an acl injury theres no way they list him as questionable at that point
 
I'm sorry but I don't need a confirmed "source" to tell me what my eyes saw and that was Cushing's knee getting bent 90 degrees the wrong way and a big fat guy coming down on top of it...

Cush was toast as soon as it happened, it sucks but it's the reality of it...

Hello, my name is John... I've been following this team throughout the Kubiak years... You must be new. What is your name? and how can I help you get familiar with the way things work around here?

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.

He quoted someone who said that he did tear his ACL and asked that guy for a source. Not confirmed by anyone of importance.

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?

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?

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

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

A sprain and tear are the same thing... A torn ACL is a sprained knee. Everyone knows it is torn and he's done. Once they did the ACL test, they knew. The MRI will confirm it. Prepare yourself. I'm not being a pessimist. This is reality. Good news is we have two roster spots to work with, because Holliday is getting cut this week, also.
 
Who was the MLB from the Dolphins who "retired" last year?

EDIT:Channing Crowder! Was a good ILB in a 3-4 defense. A little weird with his comments but a solid player.

You can work back from a sprain with rehab. AJ had an MCL or PCL partial tear or sprain and was out 6-8 weeks before returning.


That said, I'm accepting it now. Too many sources are confirming it to for it to be false at this point.

Adrian Peterson tore his ACL in late December 2011 and he is started this season playing.
 
Owen Daniels:
We made enough plays.

Losing Cush is tough. First big adversity we have to deal with this year. Thoughts with him, hope for a full recovery. We dealt with it last year. A team thing for us this year. It's the way it is. We have a good team. Hopefully guys step up and we'll be alright.
