The Houston offense may be getting a spark, but their defense is down another man.

Linebacker Brian Cushing is out for the game with a concussion.

A mainstay in Houston since 2009, Cushing has missed only five games in the last three years. He’ll be unable to practice or play until he’s cleared by both team doctors and an independent neurologist to play.
