• Texans' Jadeveon Clowney: Tagged as questionable for Week 4

  Rotowire Oct 2, 2026

  Clowney (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Dallas. Clowney was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, though he took a step back Friday. As a result, there is a realistic chance that the veteran will be looking at a third consecutive absence. If that's the case, the door will remain open for increased involvement from Sabastian Harsh and Dominique Robinson. Chris Braswell, who was signed from the practice squad Wednesday, should also receive some snaps.

• Texans' Jadeveon Clowney: Working through bone bruise in knee

  Rotowire Sep 27, 2026

  Clowney has been progressing in his recovery from a bone bruise in his knee that has ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Clowney failed to participate in any of the three practices during Week 3 prep, resulting in him being ruled out for a second consecutive game. A return to practice, even in a limited capacity, would have the veteran pass rusher potentially on track to return for a Week 4 home tilt against the Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 4. In Clowney's absence, Sabastian Harsh and Dominique Robinson will both see a slight uptick in defensive snaps while operating in rotational roles behind starters Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson.

• Texans' Jadeveon Clowney: Won't play Sunday

  Rotowire Sep 18, 2026

  Clowney (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. Clowney recorded his third injury in as many weeks during Week 2 preparation. The defensive end dealt with ankle and hip issues in the lead-up to the Texans' 36-31 loss against the Bills last Sunday. Clowney was unable to practice at all in Week 2 due to the new issue. With Clowney, who serves as the primary depth option at edge rusher, unavailable Sunday, Dominique Robinson and Sabastian Harsh will likely share the rotational defensive snaps behind Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.

  Rotowire Sep 9, 2026

Clowney sustained a soft-tissue injury to his hip during the Texans' preseason game at Las Vegas, but it appears he'll be available for Week 1. The veteran figures to settle into a rotational role on the edge behind All-Pro Will Anderson and five-time Pro Bowler Danielle Hunter.

• Texans' Jadeveon Clowney: Likely to be ready for Week 1

  Rotowire Sep 1, 2026

  Clowney (hip/ankle) is expected to be good to go for Week 1 versus Buffalo, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Clowney suffered a soft-tissue injury to his hip during the preseason meeting with the Raiders. He's also been battling an ankle issue. However, neither of the ailments is expected to keep him off the field for the opener against the Bills. The 33-year-old Clowney isn't as productive as he once was, though he ended the 2025 campaign with the Cowboys by totaling 41 tackles and 8.5 sacks across 13 regular-season games.

  Rotowire Dec 10, 2025

  Clowney (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Clowney was unable to play against the Lions in Week 14 due to a hamstring injury. He's had additional time to recover from the injury, and he would avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings with a full practice over the next two days. The veteran pass rusher has accumulated 27 tackles (15 solo), including 4.0 sacks, three pass defenses and one fumble recovery through nine regular-season games.

• Cowboys' Jadeveon Clowney: Questionable for Thursday

  Rotowire Dec 3, 2025

  Clowney (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The 32-year-old upgraded from a DNP on Tuesday to limited practice Wednesday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday's contest. Clowney has appeared in nine games for the Cowboys this season, recording 27 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and three passes defensed. If Clowney is inactive for the Week 14 matchup, expect Sam Williams to operate as Dallas' top reserve defensive end.

• Cowboys' Jadeveon Clowney: Trending toward playing Sunday

  Rotowire Nov 23, 2025

  Clowney (shoulder/neck) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles but is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Clowney's practice reps were limited this week while he managed a pair of injuries, but the veteran pass rusher is tracking toward being available for Sunday's NFC East clash. Through eight games on the season, Clowney has totaled 19 tackles, 2.0 sacks, three pass breakups and one fumble recovery.

• Cowboys' Jadeveon Clowney: Scores first sack as Cowboy

  Rotowire Oct 20, 2025

  Clowney recorded five tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended in Sunday's win over the Commanders. The veteran edge rusher made his first real impact in four games as a Cowboy, with his sack being his first of the season. Clowney is filling a rotational role in a Dallas pass rush that lacks a true alpha with Micah Parsons now in Green Bay, but the unit racked up 4.0 sacks in Sunday's win and has 10 in the last three contests.

• Cowboys' Jadeveon Clowney: Set for season debut

  Rotowire Sep 27, 2025

  Clowney is expected to make his Cowboys debut Sunday night against the Packers, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. The veteran edge rusher was signed back on Sept, 14, but Dallas elected to hold him out in Week 3 while he got up to speed on Matt Eberflus' scheme. Clowney won't replace Micah Parsons, but he's recorded 15.0 sacks in 31 regular-season games over the last two seasons between the Ravens and Panthers and will provide a boost to a Cowboys pass rush that's managed only four sacks in the first three weeks of 2025, the fifth-lowest mark in the league.

• Cowboys' Jadeveon Clowney: Could jump right in

  Rotowire Sep 20, 2025

  Clowney said after Friday's practice that he's ready to play Sunday against the Bears, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. Executive vice president Stephen Jones suggested Friday on 105.3 The Fan that Dallas might ramp up the 32-year-old a little more slowly, however. "After practice and talking about it today it's probably a final game-time decision," Jones said. "But leaning toward him probably not playing this week." We'll see the veteran pass rusher can make his push to play this week against the Bears. He didn't agree to a deal with the Cowboys until after a Week 2 overtime win over the Giants, but he's used to jumping right into action after signing midseason -- Clowney previously skipped training camp before signing deals with the Titans (2020), Browns (2021) and Ravens (2023), and in each case he played right away. Clowney was also arrested last week in South Carolina over a parking dispute, but that isn't likely to affect his availability for Week 3.

• Cowboys' Jadeveon Clowney: Signs with Dallas

  Rotowire Sep 14, 2025

  Clowney and the Cowboys agreed on a one-year, $6 million contract Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Clowney was in attendance for one of the Cowboys' practices during the week, and owner Jerry Jones told the media following Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants that Dallas has come to an agreement with the 32-year-old. The linebacker appeared in 14 regular-season games with the Panthers in 2024, recording 46 total tackles (24 solo), including 5.5 sacks, while also adding four passes defensed. Clowney will provide the Cowboys with another pass-rushing option ahead of Week 3 versus the Bears.

• Panthers' Jadeveon Clowney: Disappoints in Carolina

  Rotowire Jan 8, 2025

  Clowney recorded 46 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks, and four passes defended over 14 games in 2024. The 2014 first-round pick from South Carolina signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Panthers this past offseason after tying his career high in sacks (9.5) in 2023 with the Ravens. Clowney was brought in to help bolster a struggling Panthers pass rush that ranked dead last in the NFL in sacks (27.0) in 2023, but his first season in Carolina did not go as planned. The 31-year-old posted his lowest sack total of any season in which he appeared in 14 or more games, while the Panthers' defense once again ranked among the NFL's bottom-four teams in sacks (32.0). Clowney is expected to benefit from the return of fellow edge rusher D.J. Wonnum, who missed nine games in 2024, potentially making his job a bit easier heading into the 2025 season.

  Rotowire Dec 22, 2024

  Clowney (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Clowney logged a DNP/LP/FP practice report this past week as he worked through a knee injury, and he's done enough to suit up Sunday. He's logged nine tackles (seven solo), including 2.5 sacks, and two pass defenses over his last three regular-season games.

  Rotowire Dec 20, 2024

  Clowney (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals. Clowney upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's trending toward playing in the Week 16 contest. The first-year Panther has been underwhelming this season, recording 36 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and three passes defended over 11 games. If he's unable to suit up Sunday, expect DJ Johnson to serve as one of Carolina's top edge rushers.

  Clowney (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
