Brian Cushing heads overseas on USO tour

Brian Cushing will take a break from offseason conditioning to pay a visit to the military on his first USO Tour.

“I’m leaving this Friday," Cushing said. "I’m going to Germany and Kuwait. We’re going to be visiting both countries and a number of different bases. It was just an opportunity that was presented to me and it’s something I’m passionate about, so I couldn’t turn it down. I’m just very excited about the chance.”

The veteran linebacker, now in his eighth season, has always been passionate about supporting the military. His foundation, the Brian Cushing Foundation, provides resources to Houston-area veterans and their families.
