Houston (CBS Houston) – The Texans will be without Jadeveon Clowney this Sunday against the Titans.

“He’s still trying to work that knee out and get it right, so he will not be with us on Sunday,” said Texans defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel.

Clowney missed six games before playing against the Titans the first time the two teams met. He then missed the Eagles game and during the bye week said he worked on getting healthy.

He made his return to the field against the Browns in Cleveland and also played against the Bengals this past weekend. He has five tackles on the season.

Despite his knee injury lingering the team isn’t planning on shutting Clowney down according to Bill O’Brien.

“I wouldn’t say at this point. No,” said the Texans head coach when asked about Clowney sitting out the rest of the year. “I think we’ve got to continue to manage it and [Clowney has to] continue to get treatment on it.

“Like I said two weeks ago, part of it is being unlucky,” O’Brien said.

He went on to list the various aliments, from the hernia before the season to the concussion before Denver, in which Clowney has had to deal with this year.

O’Brien said the team will continue to mange Clowney’s injury and communicate with him on how the injury feels.
