Brian Cushing to be released by Texans

Brian Cushing

The Texans will reportedly be moving on from veteran linebacker Brian Cushing.

Houston played the majority of last season without Cushing, who was suspended 10 games for violating the NFL’s policy on performance enhancing drugs. During his absence, the emergence of other players made Cushing expendable, according to John McClain of The Houston Chronicle, who reports the Texans will release Cushing prior to the start of the new league year.

Cushing has been with the Texans since being selected No. 15 overall in the 2009 NFL Draft. He was named the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year and also made one Pro Bowl team. Cushing’s suspension last season for PEDs was the second such suspension of his career. He was also missed the first four games of the 2010 season.
