Brian Cushing started the 2016 NFL campaign with great hope and promise. That was seemingly dashed against the rocks on the first drive of the first game when he suffered what many feared to be a season-ending knee injury.
If anyone knows how to come back from a knee injury, it’s Cushing, who has had more than his fair share and still lived on to fight another day.
At the moment speculation began that Cushing could be lost for the year, the furthest thing from anyone’s mind was the possibility he might win any end-of-season awards this year.
