Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney revealed after Sunday night's season-ending 28-23 loss to the Green Bay Packers that he expects to undergo surgery next week to repair his core injury, according to NBC Sports Northwest's Joe Fann.

The 26-year-old Pro Bowler missed the Seahawks' 17-9 Week 12 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Prior to the game, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Clowney had met with a specialist about a hip and core muscle injury. Clowney's hip and core kept him out only for Week 12.
