Clowney Eyes Return Against Former Teammate Prescott
3 Oct
Summary
- Jadeveon Clowney is questionable for Week 4 with a knee injury.
- He aims to play against former teammate Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.
- The Texans' pass rush faces depth issues with recent injuries.
As Week 4 approaches, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney's availability for the Houston Texans' matchup against the Dallas Cowboys remains uncertain. Clowney is currently listed as questionable due to a knee injury sustained in Week 1. While he practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday and Thursday, he did not participate in Friday's walkthrough. Clowney expressed confidence in his recovery and his desire to play against his former team and teammate Dak Prescott.
The Texans' defense is navigating significant challenges in its pass rush. The team will be without veteran Mario Edwards Jr., who recently suffered a torn ACL. This absence further strains the defensive line's depth. Clowney, who recorded the Texans' first sack of the 2026 season, hopes to return and reignite the pass rush. Defensive coordinator Matt Burke noted the significant impact of Edwards Jr.'s absence, both on the field and in team morale, emphasizing the need for others to step up.
Clowney acknowledged his respect for Dak Prescott, calling him the "engine" of the Cowboys' offense. He looks forward to competing against Prescott and proving his own capabilities. The Texans aim to pick up where they left off in Week 1, with Clowney emphasizing his determination to demonstrate his ongoing effectiveness. The game is scheduled for a noon kickoff on Sunday, to be televised on FOX.
