Jadeveon Clowney returns to practice as D’Onta Foreman sits out

Houston Texans’ star Jadeveon Clowney is finally back on the field.

It seems like it’s been a very long time since Houston Texans’s pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney has been on the practice field.

On Thursday, Clowney was back at practice as the Texans prepare for this weekend’s preseason game against the New Orleans Saints.

Unfornunately wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Braxton Miller are still out.

Hopkins is dealing with a hand injury while Miller is nursing a sprained ankle.

The Texans are also without both tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz and running back D’Onta Foreman who went down with a leg injury during practice this week.

Foreman has looked impressive during Houston’s first two preseason games. I would be surprised if he plays this week and could ultimately be done for the preseason.

The Texans could decide to rest Foreman since it looks like he’ll be backing up Lamar Miller.

It looks like undrafted rookie free agent running back Dare Ogunbowale went down with a possible injury during Thursday’s practice. Hopefully he’s OK. Ogunbowale has had a good camp so far.

Going back to Clowney, it will be interesting to see whether or not the Texans limit him during practice and whether or not he actually plays against the Saints on Saturday night.

If Clowney does play this week, he may only get a few series in order to avoid any setbacks.
