Texans LB Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) out vs. Jaguars

Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney will miss Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.

Houston Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney will miss Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a lingering right ankle injury, the team announced Friday.

Clowney, who missed practice all week, sustained the injury in the first half of the Texans’ Oct. 8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He later returned to the game.

The 22-year-old has 12 tackles, three passes defended and a forced fumble in four starts this season.

Clowney, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft, played in four games as a rookie last year before undergoing season-ending microfracture surgery on his right knee.

The Texans (1–4) will travel to Jacksonville to face the Jaguars (1–4) at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
