10 years ago, a story like this would have meant nothing. Now with all the precautions for head injuries (except safer helmets....grrrr), I wonder if Clowney will become a marked man? At least maybe they won't go after his knees to slow him down. They'll go after his head.

If you watched the Texans app, and you read between the lines then you would know that he got the concussion in Denver on the 2nd day. He was held out after that as a precaution.

As for the tear, it looked like a fluke, he jumped and landed funny, and he immediately grabbed the back of the knee. He did try to to go back in and play for one play. Then he came off the field and they walked him to the locker room.

I hope this is not the beginning of a trend. But better to happen now then later in the year.
