Brian Cushing torn ACL .. out for season

Is the injury diagnosis 100% correct at this point? Has the MRI results been revealed?

I hate the letters ACL and MRI.
 
we are so use to injurys to key players we are expecting it,right now there is no proof all they did was a sideline test. the coaches the staff the fans all expect the worst.we all expect a bad injury. we still can hope till the mri comes back. Even if it is a acl if anyone can recover and be back for playoffs its cushing. there is miracle stories all over the web of people making god like recoverys. so there is always room for hope.

When they invent this guys will be able to come back shortly after tearing their ACLs.

Until then hes done for the year. Not sure why you would want to risk his entire career to have him gimping around out there for the playoffs. Friday Night Lights anyone?
 
How does anyone know that this was intentional or not? I lean toward intentional simply because it's a Rex Ryan team and he's not the most honorable coach out there. For those defending this Slausen chump, please elaborate how you seem to have insight that this was not an intentional hit.

Losing Cush will cost us some games. Who knows how many, but it's certainly a major hit to our defense, no doubt about it. Hopefully the rest of the team rallies and makes up for it. Last year's "next man up" mantra was good preparation for this sort of thing.

It really sucks, but that's football. The great teams destined for great things adapt and overcome. Let's see if our 2012 Texans are one of those kinds of great teams now.

Chin up Texans fans. We are still 5-0!!! :texflag:

Your own words were "even if its an ACL if anyone can come back its Cushing." Torn ACLs do not heal quickly enough for a return this year. Period. If by some miracle its not a torn ACL that would be fantastic but I'm not holding my breath.

What else could it be? Where is Cloak when you need him!
 
Kuch and Kalu just said they heard (and i'm guessing their sources are good) that it's MCL and ACL = total knee reconstruction.

:vincepalm:

I think that happens if there is a post deleted at some point in the thread. IIRC if there are 20 posts and one post is deleted it displays 2 pages but only displays the first page and kills the second page.

Son of a *****!!!

This means he won't be worth a sh!t next season.

Cloak has already said we will have to wait for the OFFICIAL report from the MRI!

Everybody's anxious, scared, and pissed off! BUT, I wanna hear it from the horses mouth as to just how bad the injury really is.
 
We can look into what "sources" say all we want, but in reality the doctors don't even know yet. Like some have said, just have to wait for the MRI and hope/pray for the best.

I am game. It's probably just a mild strain and the Texans are making it sound worse to throw off the Packers. I fully expect him to start next Sunday.

EVen if its an ACL tear, I heard that Cushing had two extra ACLs added during the offseason so that in case one tore, he'd have backup. He should be at practice later this week

:runaway:
 
What really pisses me off about this is the fact that there's no discussion of punishment for the bastard that did this. He clearly went after Cushing's knee. He got washed out of the play, got up from the ground, and went after the back of Cushing's leg. He didn't trip or stumble, and wasn't blocked into it. I think some of you saying it wasn't intentional are off your rocker. Or maybe you're confusing premeditation with intention.

If a defensive player hits an offensive player in the head, no matter what the circumstance, he's fined. He can be actively trying to avoid hitting a player in the head, but if the offensive guy ducks into it, the defenseman is fined. Here we have a guy that clearly went after Cushing, should have been flagged, and probably isn't going to be fined. It's a BS double standard. Going after a man's knee is every bit as debilitating as headhunting, perhaps even moreso.

I want a suspension equal to the number of games Cushing misses.

I know that won't happen, but he needs a suspension, a fine doesn't cut it.

Lazy ass Cushing just doesn't want to practice for a few days.
 
Don't we chop block all the time causing other teams to say we play dirty? 790 made it sound like it was a legal play, just unfortunate outcome.

Kuch and Kalu both usually take the linemen's side of things when it comes to this stuff. They also agreed that the Joe Mays hit on Schaub wasn't that bad and shouldn't have a suspension behind it, much less a fine.
 
My brother just tore his acl in camp before his season started in...He could walk on it a bit before the sugery, but after the surgery he was outta there....

He had the surgery I guess about a month ago now and he came home this weekend because his team was playing in Reliant and he was walking pretty much like normal. He was able to jump around a little bit too...He's still rehabbing and stuff, but I'm just happy he's up and walking so well....

We'll see Cushing back on the sideline cheering on the team in no time....

Is Slausen 65?

Slausen is the guy who literally loads up on his knee. Just watch Cushing and you'll see a guy almost charge up and go directly for his knee.

No way was he trying to block a guy bigger or faster than him. He went low with intent.

I'm not going to believe anything unless it comes from the Texans. I just want to hold out hope for as long as possible.
 
He also said Sharpton would not be ready at this time even if he wasn't on PUP. Going to push him the next few weeks.

In other words, don't expect Sharpton to be any sort of savior
 
I didnt read whole thread, so I do not know if this has been said but we all are missing D.Ryans now.

I see what the hubbub is about now that's a very cheap shot indeed.
