#1 pick Clowney has micro fracture, likely career ending

Sirius reporting Clowney has micro fracture (think Kijana Carter/Marcus Latimore). Likely career ending, at least 9-12 months before he starts rehab.

Someone joked on another thread the injury means he'll go down as a bust. That's not a joke anymore.

Report: 4th knee surgery since being drafted

Hope he can come back and play. Feel bad for the guy

That's why you don't tank for draft positioning.

I actually forgot all about Clowney, how did he looked when he played? The dude was a beast at SC.

+1 Agree. Clowney will take the field after training camp. He never has liked practice, but come game day he turns into a beast. He's not done.

Go Jets...Cyborg

That someone was me, and you're right it's not funny at all. I feel bad for the kid particularly if it is career ending. Hopefully he is careful with the money he is guaranteed to receive from Texans.

Jadeveon Clowney - LB - Texans
Colts RT Gosder Cherilus says Jadeveon Clowney is "screwed" after undergoing microfracture knee surgery.
Cherilus had the same operation a couple years ago, but plays a position that doesn't rely on explosion. "They told me I would be back in 12 months. I fought and came back in nine months. But it wasn't right. You are going to deal with stuff for the rest of your career. Period. You have to be extremely disciplined. You have to do all the little things. Man, I'm telling you – it's hard." Clowney, whose drive was questioned in the lead-up to the draft, faces a long, excruciating rehab.

He stayed at the same Hotel as me during my Honey Moon this past July in Puerto Rico. Dude is a great guy. Wish him the best.
