Cushing Has [Minor] Knee Injury - Sprain, Should Be Okay for Week 1

It's now reported as a sprained left knee. No other details. Doesn't SOUND like a major injury, but this team has a history of putting out less than full disclosure on injuries.

Isn't Domanick Davis still battling a pesky sprained knee?

i am not sure where "major" came from. i have heard they don't know the severity yet. they have said that they aren't sure when he hurt it, and he didn't go down on the firld. that sounds like a good thing to me, but i honselty don't have a clue what i am talking about either.

It was that Matt Jackson idiot. Who know's if it was "major" or not. Kubiak's quotes are saying they won't know for a couple of days how severe. Just he will miss some time....whatever that means.

God that sucks....I was really starting to buy into what having a bigger stronger SAM up on the line could do to help our run defense, and I was pleased with his coverage abilities on TE's at practice....mainly his ability to get a good jam in at the line. I hope it's not serious.

That right there is the best quote I have seen on the board recently.

Don't say that man.

I think DD had a degenerative knee condition. If Cush just has a sprain, then that should not pose a long term problem. Good thing that I heard, was it did not happen on a specific play, had a full practice then complained of a sore knee after lifting.

You can't determine anything based on "sprain." It's all about the severity, if it's a Grade III sprain, it's torn ligaments and he's done for the season.

Update from McClain. Out 2-3 weeks, should play against MN. No surgery.

If this is the case, then I am breathing easier. Cush needs the reps, but maybe the time off will not cause him to hit the "rookie wall" as hard or as early. He did not miss any time on OTA's and minicamp so that is another positive.

Man it seems as if we just cannot get a break with this team. But I guess if he does make it back by the Minnesota game that is a break within itself. I just would have loved to see him out there Saturday.

Side note: how can Zack and Cato be having a (friendly) twitter position battles if Cato cant even get on the field with an injury like this. There's obviously no battle at all.

Demeco
Zack
Kevin
Isn't this the lineup we started last year with?

No Greenwood was the WLB starter going into the year with Demeco in the middle and Diles at SLB. Bentley got some starts at the end of the year after Diles went down.
