Texans head coach Gary Kubiak has spoken out about the significance of linebacker Brian Cushing's suspension. "It affects the football team a great deal," Kubiak said. "He's a huge piece of the puzzle. We're sitting here all offseason getting ready to go, and now we've got to do some adjusting. So I'm very disappointed ... but we've got to move forward, and we will." Cushing said Thursday that he tested positive for HCG, a fertility drug that is on the league's banned substance list.
