The Houston Texans are set to release linebacker Brian Cushing.

According to NFL.com, the Texans will release their all-time leading tackler.

Cushing was suspended 10 games last season for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. It was the second time Cushing faced a suspension for the same violation.

Cushing recorded 664 total tackles in his nine-year run with Houston and ends his career among the top 10 all-time Texans in interceptions, forced fumbles and sacks.
