This could be very bad news for the Houston Texans.

On a day when Houston was looking pretty good against the Washington Redskins, a dark cloud had descended after first overall pick Jadeveon Clowney was forced to leave the game and make his way to the locker room.

Clowney had trouble after rushing Robert Griffin III on a play.

Clowney was not happy as he made his way from the field.

Speculation is that something could be wrong with Clowney’s knee but this is pure speculation as there has been no update yet from the Texans.

Houston is hoping to pair Clowney with all-world defensive lineman J.J. Watt to create an unstoppable defensive tandem but an injury to Clowney obviously would put those plans on hold.

This one will bear watching as the day progresses.
