HOUSTON (AP) - Houston Texans star linebacker Brian Cushing is turning his focus to his recovery in the wake of a season-ending knee injury. Cushing, Houston's leading tackler, was hurt in the Texans' 23-17 win over the New York Jets on Monday night on a low, rolling hit by guard Matt Slauson. He was placed on injured reserve with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. A first-round draft pick in 2009, Cushing has no timetable for his return, saying that he's going to ``be smart'' about it. Tim Dobbins will start in his place when the Texans (5-0) play Green Bay (2-3) on Sunday night. Slauson was fined $10,000 by the NFL. Cushing wouldn't say if he thought Slauson's hit crossed the line. |
