After a couple of weeks of research and evaluation, the NFL and Roger Goodell have upheld the four-game suspension of Texans LB Brian Cushing.  According to the article:  "At the request of Texans owner Bob McNair, Commissioner Goodell reviewed additional medical information presented on behalf of Brian Cushing. The club and Cushing were notified today that after carefully considering all the information, including a review by outside medical experts, the commissioner finds no basis for changing the decision and that Mr. Cushing’s suspension for the first four games of the regular season remains in place."
