Beyond the “Yogi-ism” in the headline and the Shoeless Joe Jackson reference in the first paragraph there is little to chuckle about in the seemingly never-ending injury saga of Jadeveon Clowney. Already the pundits are rehashing his injury history, revisiting the decision to draft him and downgrading the Texans’ prospects for 2016.
Clowney had serious micro-fracture knee surgery in 2014. He (and the Texans) should expect periodic, but manageable, inflammation and joint pain. Over time the knee could become arthritic. His career could be shortened.
That’s no secret. The prognosis is available to anyone having access to a search engine.
