The Houston Texans have not had Jadeveon Clowney at practice for multiple sessions, and we now know why.
The good news is that they do not expect the veteran to be sidelined much longer.
“We expect Clowney to be back,” Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told media members after practice on Monday, specifying that the three-time Pro Bowler was “dealing with a lower leg injury. He’ll be back soon.”
Texans’ Jadeveon Clowney Dealing With ‘Lower Leg Injury’
Of course, “soon” can mean a wide range of timelines. So, until Clowney is officially back on the field for the Texans, he remains part of the list of injury concerns.
And make no mistake, it is an extensive list for the Texans.
Clowney chose the Texans over the Cleveland Browns, coming full circle back to the organization where it all began for him in the NFL. This setback, albeit expected to be short-lived, is a bit of a spoiler on the positivity his return provided.
He has battled injuries in his career. So, it would make sense if the Texans were merely be overly cautious to preserve him for the regular season.
Only time will reveal that answer, though.
This story will be updated.
