Texans LB Brian Cushing suspended 10 games by NFL
Brian Cushing #56 of the Houston Texans warms up before the game against the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Dec. 6, 2015 in Orchard Park, New York. Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing has been suspended for 10 games by the NFL for violating the league’s performance enhancers policy.
It’s the second time Cushing has been suspended; he missed four games in 2010 under the same policy, testing positive for a fertility drug. Cushing had won 2009 Defensive Rookie of the Year, an honor which was jeopardized by the suspension. He kept the award after a revote by The Associated Press’ awards panel.
