Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing said Thursday he never used any banned substances even though he tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug. Cushing confirmed he tested positive for HCG, a fertility drug that is on the league’s banned substance list. “The question of how it got into my body is still unclear,” he said. “It’s something that I’m very personally concerned about, just the fact that how it’s there and what’s going to determine it from happening again, and that’s something we’re going to have to medically investigate.” He said that after failing the test, he was told HCG can get in your body from injecting it or because of tumors. He said this information led him to believe he had tumors. He did not say what kind of tumors. “I personally know I’m not injecting myself with anything,” he said. “I played the whole season thinking this could not only be my last season, but my last year.” The Texans’ performance in their last five games will determine the fate of coach Gary Kubiak and his assistants. Owner Bob McNair is disappointed in the 5-6 record, the three-game losing streak and their inability to win close games. He hasn’t given up on the season, and, as always, he’ll evaluate Kubiak after the season. “Right now, I have a coach,” McNair said Tuesday. “Since I have a coach, and I haven’t made any decisions to replace my coach, I’m not even thinking about anybody else. I’m just thinking about winning this next game against Jacksonville.” “This is a critical time,” McNair said. “My true feeling is we have our best chance of developing a winning team with Gary as opposed to someone else, at this point in time. Making a change is very disruptive. “This is a critical time. I want to see how Gary manages it. In the past, he’s managed it very well when his back’s been against the wall. I hope he will now because I think he’s very sound. Houston Texans Mens Apparel and other Texans Gifts
Houston wide receiver Andre Johnson leads the NFL with 634 yards receiving, but tight end Owen Daniels isn’t far behind. Daniels’ teammates are so impressed with his play that they’ve nicknamed him “Awesome.” “I think right now you could easily put him as one of the top tight ends in the NFL,” Johnson said. “As time goes along he’s only going to get better and better.” The modest Daniels cringes when his nickname is brought up. He knows his production has been helped by being on the field with one of the NFL’s best receivers. Houston Texans Sports Memorabilia Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing and wide receiver Andre Johnson both did not practice on Wednesday. Johnson suffered a lung contusion in last Sunday’s 24-21 win over San Francisco and was listed as day-to-day with the injury. Houston Texans Sports Memorabilia The NFL’s trading deadline came and went Tuesday with, as expected, the Texans making no moves. But they did sign free-agent linebacker Jamie Winborn to their active roster. He’ll replace rookie defensive end Tim Jamison, who returns to the practice squad two games after he was first activated.

Texans rookie coordinator Frank Bush’s rushing defense began the season in the deepest of funks. Trampled by the Jets, befuddled by the Titans and punctured by the Jaguars, Houston found itself dead last in the NFL in a statistical category that tends to be seen as a measure of a team’s toughness, its elemental grit. Something had to give. Or better, the Texans simply had to stop giving. And they have, mounting a remarkable, almost jaw-dropping reversal that has been all about saving face. Climbing a fourth of the way up the league standings over the last three Sundays — 24th doesn’t look nearly so bad when you’re coming from 32nd — they held the Raiders, Cardinals and Bengals to less than 50 yards rushing apiece. To put that in perspective, consider this: Texans defenses had done it just four times previously in franchise history Houston Texans Sports Memorabilia
