The franchise's all-time leading tackler was suspended on September 13 for 10 games. He left the Week 1 loss to the Jaguars with a consussion. Head coach Bill O'Brien said he "was glad" to see the 9-year veteran back at NRG Stadium, but didn't have much information on whether or not Cushing would play again soon.
"I just saw him," O'Brien said during a Tuesday press conference. "He's been away from us for awhile, obviously. First things first, personally we've got to get caught up. See where he's at. See how he's doing and then kind of go from there.
