Cushing was suspended for four games without pay last week for violating the NFL's drug policy. His appeal was denied.

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.

Daniels leads all tight ends and is tied for 10th in the league overall with 497 yards receiving.

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."

He'll replace rookie defensive end Tim Jamison, who returns to the practice squad two games after he was first activated.  The 5-11, 230-pound Winborn was a second-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers out of Vanderbilt in 2001. He spent five seasons with the Niners, one with Jacksonville, one with Tampa Bay and the last two with Denver. He played in all 16 games for the Broncos in 2008, making 11 starts.

But they did sign free-agent linebacker Jamie Winborn to their active roster. He&#8217;ll replace rookie defensive end Tim Jamison, who returns to the practice squad two games after he was first activated.</STRONG><BR><BR>The 5-11, 230-pound Winborn was a second-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers out of Vanderbilt in 2001. He spent five seasons with the Niners, one with Jacksonville, one with Tampa Bay and the last two with Denver. He played in all 16 games for the Broncos in 2008, making 11 starts.

There's nothing fancy, pretty or scientific about stuffing a running play. It's a brute-force, stand-your-ground, may-the-best-man-win kind of thing, and the Texans were losing almost every battle — comically so on occasion.
