Though Cushing is expected to miss some time, the Texans do expect him back this season.Brian will be back I would say sooner rather than later, coach Bill OBrien said. Hes a guy thats obviously played a long time and knows exactly whats wrong and hell work very hard to get back as quickly as he can.Its the third time Cushing has missed time with a knee injury, although the first two, which were both to his left knee, were much more serious.In Week 7 of the 2013 season, Cushing tore the lateral collateral ligament in his left knee and broke his left fibula on a low hit and missed the rest of the season. He had missed the last 11 games of the 2012 season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee in Week 5 against the New York Jets.The 29-year old returned for the opener of the 2014 season and started 14 games that year, finishing with 72 tackles.

(my) thoughts are with Cush and I know hell be back as soon as he can.The Texans also said starting left tackle Duane Brown wont return this week while continuing his recovery from quadriceps surgery in January. And they are looking for improvement from J.J. Watt after the defensive end wasnt his dominant self in his return Sunday after sitting out the entire preseason following back surgery.OBrien gave last seasons Defensive Player of the Year credit for even being on the field after having surgery to repair a herniated disk in July before critiquing his play.He knows that he needs to go out there and play better, OBrien said. Im sure hell be the first one to tell you that. As the game went on I thought he played better and better. He was getting more used to the speed of the game. He hadnt played in a long time. No training camp. So I think youll see that the more he plays hell be back to what youre looking for.The Texans (1-0) host Kansas City (1-0) on Sunday.--Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
