Jadeveon Clowney was supposed to be a stud in the NFL but he’s already struggled to stay healthy with the team hoping he can get back by Week 8.

When Jadeveon Clowney sat out games and only went half-speed while at South Carolina last year, many wondered if that would disrupt his conditioning and his ability to perform in the NFL. So far, Clowney hasn’t made a good case for himself, as he has barely played in his rookie season and is struggling to get back onto the field.

According to the Houston Texans official site, head coach Bill O’Brien feels there is a chance that Clowney will return in Week 8 for the Texans.

"“He feels good. I think before the game he still felt his ability to cut wasn’t totally there yet. But he feels really good and he’ll practice this week,” O’Brien said. “Well see how it goes this week in practice. We’ll be able to make a determination pretty soon about whether he can play or not.”"

Not having Clowney has hurt the Texans, as they’ve been one big play away from winning most of their games. They’re also sorely lacking a piece on defense, as the way their unit gets beat suggests that if they had just one more piece — Clowney — they might be alright.

We will have to wait and see how well that works but the wait for Clowney to come back is something that no one knows how long it will last.
