Cushing going hyperbaric to heal knee sprain

Texans rookie linebacker Brian Cushing, the fifteenth overall pick in the draft, suffered a sprained LCL in his knee earlier this mont.  To heal the injury, he’s taking a page out of the Michael Jackson/T.O. playbook.

Cushing has been sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber.

I take naps in there because it gets too hot to sleep in all night,” Cushing recently wrote in his personal blog (via the Houston Examiner).

Cushing also said he hopes to play in the August 31 preseason game against the Vikings, and to be “full speed” for the final preseason game at Tampa.

    So that’s where M.J.’s chamber went! Did the Texans also purchase Neverland? Is M.J.’s monkey their new mascot? Are they going to grab their crotch when they score (all six times this year) and scream HO?
    Just looking for answers.

    I wonder if there’s even been studies to prove/disprove the use of a hyperbaric chamber to help heal wounds.

    Too bad there isn’s a steroid chamber. What a bust.
