Texans owner Robert McNair said he knew during the season that rookie linebacker Brian Cushing had "an issue" with the NFL. McNair didn't have details about what was wrong. Cushing was suspended by the league last week for violating its steroid policy. Although Cushing admitted taking a non-steroid banned substance, it is still considered performance-enhancing by the league. "The club is left completely out of the loop on that," McNair said. "We're not even notified, it's the league and the player and the players' union. All we know is what's been announced at this point in time."
