Broncos trade tackle Chris Clark to Houston

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Chris Clark is joining the superstar he couldn't beat.

The Denver Broncos traded the sixth-year tackle to the Houston Texans for a 2016 seventh-round draft pick Monday as they trimmed a dozen players in their first round of roster reductions.

In joint practices with the Texans last summer, Clark took exception when J.J. Watt pushed him around during a one-on-one pass-rushing drill and kept right on motoring toward the imaginary QB. Clark finally broke free with a swipe at the Texans star that sent the pass rusher's helmet bouncing on the ground.

"Don't get mad when you get beat," Watt hollered at Clark.
