Houston Texans news: Jadeveon Clowney still not 100 percent

The No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft has returned to the field for Houston Texans training camp. Jadeveon Clowney had offseason sports hernia surgery, but now he has recovered enough to join his teammates for practice.

Houston has been eager to see their top pick show up for practice and Clowney has said that he feels good which is a promising sign for the team.

“I feel good,” Clowney said, via Brian Smith of the Houston Chronicle. “Get everybody back out here, back learning (the) playbook. Just look forward to getting back into and mixing. Looking forward to the season.”

While Clowney is feeling good enough to get on the field for practice, he is not yet ready to claim that he is 100 percent.

“I don’t know the percentage but I know I ain’t 100 percent,” Clowney said.

And that ain’t no problem.

As long as Clowney can show flashes of his talent that led to becoming the No. 1 pick in the draft, the Texans will feel good about their choice to select the defensive end and an injury-plagued offseason will be a memory of the past.
