Houston Texas. Houston Texans rookie outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney who was drafted by the Texans as the first player to be selected in the 2014 National Football League Draft will not be able to play football for the next four to six weeks after he had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Monday.
Clowney was injured during the first half of the Texans 14-6 win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday in a football game played at NRG Field in Houston Texas. The good news is that Clowney should be able to continue to play for the Texans before the end of the 2014 regular football season.
Clowney is expected to be the future of the defense of the Texans football franchise for years to come. The question is did the Texans make the right decision to draft a football player who after joining the National Football League has had an operation for a sports hernia and missed some preseason games after he suffered a concussion?
I mean it is not Clowney’s fault he has been injured in his rookie season with the Texans. Football players have a short shelf life playing this brutal sport. The Texans are hoping that Clowney will be able to return before the end of the current football season to become one of the best pass rushers in the National Football League for years to come.
The Texans are hoping to improve their win total from the 2013 football season. The Texans in the 2013 regular football season had one of their worst records in the history of their franchise since they joined the National Football League in 2002.
The Texans joined the league as an expansion team after the Houston Oilers moved to Nashville Tennessee to become the Tennessee Titans after the conclusion of the 1996 football season.
