Go Texans!
Lopez just tweeted that Cushing did tear his ACL and will be out for the season. Not confimred yet....How long does it take for an ACL to heal? Any free agent ILB on the market??
Well, poop.
Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍

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
I believe 6-8 months to fully heal...
I thought Bradie James wore the green helmet?
No, that's old school. Cushing will be back for next year's training camp.
I can only hope you are right....
His salary was too high to keep all the guys we did keep (Myers, Foster, Brown, Schaub)

FWIW, here's one person's list of the best available ILB free agents.

Stephen Cooper
Barrett Ruud
Andra Davis
Gary Guyton
E.J. Henderson
James Farrior
Omar Gaither (WLB in 4-3)
Greg Jones
Scott McKillop
Leon Williams
Rennie Curran
Nate Triplett
Phillip Dillard
It might be Lopez jumping the gun, who knows...
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?

which would be 6-8 months, unless my backwoods math is wrong....
Ones in bold are the ones I know...The others are "Who's Who" of ILBs...
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
wow. i really must have had one or two beers too many. I thought you said 18 months max. my bad.

He quoted someone who said that he did tear his ACL and asked that guy for a source. Not confirmed by anyone of importance.
Wonder if Farrior has kept himself in shape.

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

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.
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
Ah, no I did, I edited it. that seemed too long in my head so I looked it up...
So no, continue with your beer sir...
On the local broadcast, Kubiak never said he was questionable.. He flat out said "He's out".

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.
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?
I came on late. May I ask what the thread title said originally? It just say Cushing injury. I'm hopeful it's not serious just like everybody else.Just an FYI: the OP didn't change the thread title. One of the mods did.
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.
