Panthers rule out LB Jadeveon Clowney (knee) vs. Eagles

Posted on | by Field Level Media

One day after it seemed he was likely to play, the Carolina Panthers ruled out pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a knee injury.

Clowney, 31, has 3.5 sacks in 10 games during his first season with the Panthers, collecting 2.5 of those in the past two games, both losses to the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had 9.5 sacks in 17 games (15 starts) with the Baltimore Ravens last season.

Clowney was listed as questionable Friday, with all signs pointing to him being on the field against the Eagles.

“I expect him to play right now,” Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Friday.

The Panthers also downgraded safety Nick Scott (hamstring/personal) to out on Sunday after he did not practice Friday. He is in the middle of a three-week window to be activated from injured reserve.

Wide receiver Dan Chisena and linebacker Jacoby Windmon were elevated from the practice squad.

Panthers sign Pro Bowl OLB Jadeveon Clowney

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Carolina Panthers flew under the radar and signed free agent outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney on Wednesday.

The team did not disclose terms but ESPN and NFL Network reported it’s a two-year deal worth $20 million and up to $24 million with incentives. Clowney fills a big void for a Panthers club that traded Pro Bowl pass rusher Brian Burns to the New York Giants earlier this month and lost Yetur Gross-Matos in free agency.

The New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens were seen as the favorites to land Clowney, a three-time Pro Bowl pick.

Clowney, 31, racked up 9.5 sacks in 17 games (15 starts) last season for the Ravens. That matched his career high for sacks, accomplished in 2017.

The Panthers will be Clowney’s sixth team. He played his first five seasons with the Houston Texans, who selected him No. 1 overall in the 2014 draft.

He has 52.5 career sacks in 126 games (113 starts).

Clowney starred at South Carolina before embarking on his NFL career.

Report: Ravens sign DE Jadeveon Clowney

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and the Baltimore Ravens agreed to a one-year contract, NFL Network reported on Friday.

Financial terms were not disclosed for the veteran free agent, who visited with both the Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars this month.

A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Clowney has appeared in 109 games (98 starts) and has tallied 320 tackles (90 for loss), 43 sacks, 109 quarterback hits, 23 passes defensed and one interception.

Clowney was selected by the Houston Texans with the top overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Browns’ Jadeveon Clowney apologizes to Myles Garrett

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney apologized to Myles Garrett following his public outburst directed toward his teammate last week.

Clowney initially took issue with his role on the team and accused the Browns’ coaching staff of prioritizing Garrett’s individual success over winning games.

“You’re all trying to get (Garrett) into the Hall of Fame instead of winning games,” Clowney said at the time. “I don’t even think (Garrett) notices. I ain’t trying to say it’s him. I try to get along with everybody I play with. Me and him don’t have a problem. It ain’t his fault, and it’s B.S., and I don’t have time for it.”

Clowney, 29, told Cleveland.com it had become apparent the Browns have “their own guys, and I ain’t one of them, so it’s time for me to get my exit slip.”

The Browns didn’t have time for Clowney, downgrading him to out for the team’s regular-season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers. For his part, Clowney said his comments were taken out of context and apologized to Garrett.

“As a son and a parent, I want to fully apologize to anyone I offended, especially Myles Garrett and his family,” Clowney said, per ESPN. “My words in the locker room were not only taken out of context, but completely misrepresented. As a man, I have reached out to Myles specifically to apologize, I will continue to learn and grow as I move forward.”

Clowney, a former No. 1 overall pick, has signed a one-year deal each of the past four offseasons. A three-time Pro Bowl selection, he has never reached 10 sacks in a single season since entering the league with the Houston Texans in 2014.

Browns downgrade DE Jadeveon Clowney to out vs. Steelers

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was downgraded to out for Sunday’s season finale against the host Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Browns noted that the move was “not injury related” on Saturday, one day after Clowney was sent home after making critical comments and openly questioning whether Cleveland put him in position to succeed.

Clowney, 29, told Cleveland.com it has become apparent the Browns have “their own guys, and I ain’t one of them, so it’s time for me to get my exit slip.”

The comments, published Thursday, pointed to the Browns focusing gameplans around defensive end Myles Garrett, who has 15 sacks and is one of the leading candidates for NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Clowney felt he wasn’t getting ample support from coaches, he said, adding he was “95 percent sure I won’t be back.”

“I just feel like I need to be around somebody that believes in me and my ability,” Clowney said. “(It can’t) just be me believing in myself. I believe in myself more than anybody.”

Clowney, a former No. 1 overall pick, has signed a one-year deal each of the past four offseasons. A three-time Pro Bowl selection, he has never reached 10 sacks in a single season since entering the league with the Houston Texans in 2014.

Also on Saturday, the Browns elevated rookie linebacker Storey Jackson and defensive end Sam Kamara from the practice squad.

Browns send Jadeveon Clowney home after critical comments

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was sent home Friday for critical comments and openly questioning whether Cleveland put him in position to succeed.

Clowney told Cleveland.com it has become apparent the Browns have “their own guys, and I ain’t one of them, so it’s time for me to get my exit slip.”

The comments, published Thursday, pointed to the Browns focusing gameplans around defensive end Myles Garrett. Garrett has 15 sacks and is one of the leading candidates for NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Clowney has just two sacks in 12 games and his status for Sunday’s regular-season finale at Pittsburgh is in doubt based on the team blocking him from the facility on Friday.

Clowney, 29, felt he wasn’t getting ample support from coaches, he said, adding he was “95 percent sure I won’t be back.”

“I just feel like I need to be around somebody that believes in me and my ability,” Clowney said. “(It can’t) just be me believing in myself. I believe in myself more than anybody.”

The former No. 1 overall pick has signed a one-year deal each of the past four offseasons. A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Clowney has never reached 10 sacks in a single season since entering the league with the Houston Texans in 2014.

Cleveland.com reported Clowney drew a line in the sand with coaches before Week 15 against Baltimore. He said coaches asked him to switch defensive end positions with Garrett after they practiced on one side all week. Clowney resisted and instead played only on third downs.

“I’m not doing that —-. I’m old. I’ve done my job,” Clowney told Cleveland.com. “I don’t have time for that. I’ve made my money. I’m doing this because I love the game but keep (doing things like that) and making me not love the game.”

Browns DE Jadeveon Clowney (head) out vs. Ravens

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney suffered a head injury and was ruled out for the remainder of Saturday’s game against the visiting Baltimore Ravens.

Clowney left the game late in the second quarter. He was seen behind the Browns’ sideline, walking with trainers to the locker room during the final minute before halftime.

The team ruled him out early in the third quarter.

Clowney is considered a valuable part of the Browns’ run defense as an edge setter. Cleveland has already lost linebackers Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Anthony Walker Jr., Jacob Phillips and Sione Takitaki for the year with injuries.

Entering Saturday’s game, Clowney had 22 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble and three pass breakups in 10 games (nine starts) this season.

The former No. 1 overall pick has 43 sacks in 108 career games with the Houston Texans (2014-18), Seattle Seahawks (2019), Tennessee Titans (2020) and Browns.

Browns’ Jadeveon Clowney, Denzel Ward out vs. Patriots

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and cornerback Denzel Ward have been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the visiting New England Patriots.

Clowney has been dealing with ankle, knee and elbow issues. Coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that the three-time Pro Bowler didn’t feel ready to compete in this weekend’s game.

Ward, a two-time Pro Bowler, didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday after sustaining a concussion while making a tackle in the fourth quarter of last weekend’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. He was replaced in the lineup by A.J. Green.

The Browns also ruled out backup offensive tackle Joe Haeg with a concussion, Stefanski said.

Ward, 25, has 21 tackles, one interception and one fumble recovery for a touchdown in five games this season.

He has 207 tackles, 11 interceptions and four fumble recoveries in 57 career games (56 starts) since being selected by the Browns with the fourth overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Clowney, 29, has 10 tackles, 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble in three games this season.

Clowney has 302 tackles, 42.5 sacks and 13 forced fumbles in 100 career games (91 starts) with the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and Browns. Clowney was selected by the Texans with the top overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Browns’ Myles Garrett, Jadeveon Clowney questionable vs. Falcons

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cleveland Browns defensive ends Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney are considered questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the Falcons in Atlanta, coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday.

Garrett, 26, sustained a shoulder injury among other bumps and bruises following a car accident on Monday.

“The latest is (he is) here today and continuing to rehab,” Stefanski said of Garrett’s availability for the game. “We’re going to list him as questionable. We’re going to use the next 24, 48 hours to see how he continues to respond to treatment and those types of things and make an appropriate decision on him and the rest of the guys.”

Garrett has three sacks, seven tackles and a forced fumble in three games this season for the Browns (2-1).

A two-time All-Pro, Garrett has recorded 210 tackles, 61.5 sacks and 12 forced fumbles in 71 games (69 starts) since being selected by the Browns with the top overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Clowney, 29, is nursing an ankle injury that forced him to miss Cleveland’s 29-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 22.

He has totaled 297 tackles, 42.5 sacks and 13 forced fumbles in 99 career games (90 starts) with the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and Browns. Clowney was selected by the Texans with the top overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Browns’ Jadeveon Clowney, Chase Winovich ruled out for ‘TNF’

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Cleveland Browns have already ruled out defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, linebacker Chase Winovich and tight end Jesse James for Thursday night’s Week 3 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Clowney suffered an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday’s bitter loss to the New York Jets. He was seen in a walking boot after the game.

Winovich is out with a hamstring injury and James has a biceps injury.

Clowney already has 1.5 sacks in two games to go with a forced fumble and five tackles.

The Browns are facing a short week and licking their wounds after a staggering setback. The Jets scored twice in the final 82 seconds to rally past the Browns 31-30, Cleveland’s second fourth-quarter meltdown in two weeks.

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski addressed two major factors — how his defense allowed a 66-yard touchdown pass to Corey Davis and why his offense scored with 1:55 remaining instead of milking the game clock.

Stefanski said after the game Sunday that “obviously, guys are not on the same page” on defense.

“Let me be very clear, anything that happens out there I’ve got to get fixed,” Stefanski said Monday. “That’s on me.”

As for Nick Chubb’s 12-yard touchdown run — his third of the game — that put the Browns up 30-17 with 1:55 left, Stefanski said he would like to have that back. Compounding the problem is that the extra point was missed, leaving the Browns with just the 13-point lead. The Jets had just called their third and final timeout, and Chubb’s touchdown came on first down.

“Let me be clear on this: ‘I absolutely could’ve told Jacoby (to not let anyone score there) that in that situation,” Stefanski said of his instructions to quarterback Jacoby Brissett, adding “I wish I had said” something and Chubb “would have done it.”

Two plays from scrimmage later, Jets quarterback Joe Flacco found Davis for the long TD pass, leading to an onside kick that the Jets recovered. Flacco subsequently found Garrett Wilson for a 15-yard TD pass to win the game.

The Browns (1-1) host the Steelers (1-1) on Thursday night.
