Despite pulling out a 23-14 victory over the Chicago Bears, the Houston Texans will be without one of their top defensive players.

Linebacker Brian Cushing went to the locker room shortly after sustaining a right knee injury. NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports he sustained a sprained right MCL.

#Texans LB Brian Cushing, carted off with a knee injury, is out 6 weeks with a torn MCL, source said. No surgery.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) September 11, 2016

The Texans will greatly miss Cushing’s presence, as he’s recorded at least 110 tackles in each of the three seasons he’s been fully healthy.
