Jadeveon Clowney absent from Texans practice due to knee injury

Jadeveon Clowney did not participate in practice on September 23 for the Houston Texans, as he continues to deal with a bone bruise in his knee. This absence marks his second straight week without practice following a previous absence during the Texans' Week 2 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Head coach DeMeco Ryans indicated that Clowney is day-to-day and his status for the upcoming game remains uncertain. With defensive injuries mounting, the Texans might have to rely on other players to fill the gap left by Clowney, who has contributed significantly to the team's pass rush this season.
