Jadeveon Clowney Won't Be In Pads When Training Camp Begins

Bill O'Brien provided updates on his expectations for the looming quarterback battle, and also confirmed that they will bring Clowney along slowly during training camp. See his specific comments, and weigh in with your thoughts.

The first overall pick from the 2014 NFL Draft will not be in pads at the start of training camp for the Houston Texans. That is not surprising when you consider the challenges of recovering from microfracture surgery, even if Jadeveon Clowney is ahead of schedule in his rehab. It's a prudent move to bring him along cautiously to make sure he fully recovers, and that there are no setbacks with the NFL regular season now finally on the horizon.
