Cushing Out For Season

The Houston Texans have a devastating loss on the defensive side of the ball with linebacker Brian Cushing out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. During the 2nd quarter on Monday Night Football against the New York Jets, Cushing got blocked by Jets guard Matt Slausen, which appeared to cause a tear in his ACL. Cushing walked off the field, but never returned back to the game. This is a huge loss for Houston's defense who already lost linebacker DeMeco Ryans (via trade) to the Eagles, and will need some big time help from the rest of the defense to continue there run of being undefeated.
