Week 6 IDP Notes: Cushing

[Coachnorm]

Texans LB Brian Cushing suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament during Monday night's win over the Jets, the Houston Chronicle reports. Cushing went down after getting cut block in the second quarter of the game (MNF) and did not return. If you have him hit the WW quickly!!

That sucks for the lads in Houston.

Watt is a force up front but Cushing keeps a wrap on that whole LB level of the D as he does everything well.

Reports this morning say this is not official but it sure sounds like a done deal when reading all of the articles.

The toaster is not on fire but it is smoking.

 

[mudloggerone]

Someone should flip the breaker.

 

[cctekguy]

Or at least take the toast out.

 

[mudloggerone]

lol

Now you can toss the toaster in the can.

Profootballtalk reports Brian Cushing's MRI revealed a torn ACL.

New York Giants FS Antrel Rolle (knee) is still experiencing pain in his left knee and doesn't expect it to go away anytime soon. He said his knee is better, but not 100 percent. "It's a battle," Rolle said. "It's a constant battle each and every day. ... With this knee injury, it's going to take some time. I never thought it would be this crucial. It's just a lingering process. Nothing too serious. But something that lingers around a little bit." Rolle plans to play in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Giants SS Tyler Sash has been activated from the reserve/suspended list. He'll take the place of Will Hill, who's been suspended four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Sash was suspended the first four games for failing a test related to performance-enhancing drugs, and the Giants had a one-week exemption for him which they utilized before the Browns game. Sash may quickly emerge as a starter while SS Kenny Phillips (knee) heals

Same drug for each of the cheaters.
