The roots of Texans Pro Bowl outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney's quiet start go back to the offseason.
Clowney didn't practice during the spring after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. Days before training camp, Clowney declared that he was ready to practice and that his knee was fine.
The Texans thought differently, though, and eased him into drills.
