Jadeveon Clowney

Jadeveon Clowney is not expected to attend mandatory minicamp as he continues to be the Texans' unsigned franchise player.

Fantasy Impact

This will become more of a story if Clowney remains unsigned approaching the start of the season. This happens every year with players, and Clowney appears ready to sit out through minicamps at least. His talent earned him the franchise tag, but his injury history has the Texans hesitant to give him a lot of guaranteed money over several years. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as the regular season approaches.

Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (groin) was listed as limited in Thursday’s practice.

Fantasy Impact

Clowney was not on the injury report on Wednesday so this appears to be a new issue. Mid-week injuries are always alarming so it will be important to see what he does Friday.

Clowney was questionable but expected to play. Following his workout this morning he is not ready to play against the Titans in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact

This is huge relief for a decimated Titans offensive line. Rookie Duke Ejiofor projects to see significant time in his place.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting Houston Texans pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney (back/ elbow) is officially inactive for Week 2.

Fantasy Impact

A game-time decision, the Texans did not like what they saw from Clowney during warmups. He is out for Week 2. Perhaps Clowney's absence will give Titans quarterbacks a bit more breathing room to maneuver their anemic passing attack.

Jadaveon Clowney was questionable for the Week 2 matchup with the Titans due to an elbow and back injury. Clowney will play but is not at 100 percent.

Fantasy Impact

The good news for Clowney, J.J. Watt, Whitney Mercilus and the rest of the Texans defense is the Titans are also shorthanded. The Texans are missing starting tackles Taylor Lewan and Jack Conklin and recently lost backup tackle Dennis Kelly to a virus.
