Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) – Houston Texans outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney underwent surgery for a torn meniscus in his left knee Monday and will miss the next 4-6 weeks.

Clowney left late in the first half of Sunday’s win against the Washington Redskins and did not return for the second half.

“He’s a resilient kid,” said Houston head coach Bill O’Brien. “He’s been a good teammate since the day he walked in the door. He’s disappointed but he’ll be back.”

The first overall pick in this year’s draft, Clowney had made one tackle in the game before walking into the locker room under his own power near the end of the half.

The South Carolina product had offseason sports hernia surgery and also suffered a concussion during a joint scrimmage against the Denver Broncos during training camp.
