Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) – A day after he returned to practice, Houston Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney was listed as questionable Saturday to play in Monday night’s game in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
Clowney practiced Friday for the first time since a knee injury knocked the No. 1 draft pick out of his first NFL game.<\/p>\n
The former South Carolina star is still just feeling his way back after having surgery to repair a torn left meniscus last month and was limited in practice again on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Texans coach Bill O’Brien said Friday that Clowney would be a game-time decision and the linebacker revealed that the team will follow his lead in determining when he’s OK to play.<\/p>\n
“Right now, it’s up to me and what I can do,” he said Friday. “I’m out there testing the leg out to see what I can do and what I can’t do. If I can do it, I’ll do it, but if I can’t, I just let the coaches know that it’s bothering me and they’ll take me out of that drill.”<\/p>\n
Clowney made one tackle against Washington in Week 1 before walking into the locker room under his own power near the end of the first half.<\/p>\n
He had offseason sports hernia surgery and also suffered a concussion during a joint scrimmage against the Denver Broncos during training camp.<\/p>\n
The Texans ruled out cornerback Darryl Morris (ankle) for a third straight game and linebacker Mike Mohamed (calf) was listed as questionable. Every other player on the Houston injury report is probable to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
