Listed as questionable
Clowney (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Clowney upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's trending toward playing in the Week 16 contest. The first-year Panther has been underwhelming this season, recording 36 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and three passes defended over 11 games. If he's unable to suit up Sunday, expect DJ Johnson to serve as one of Carolina's top edge rushers.

Returns to practice Thursday
Clowney (illness/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Clowney was sidelined for the Panthers' first official practice of the week Wednesday due to a knee injury and illness. He appears to be progressing on both fronts, as reflected by his return to practice Thursday (albeit in a limited capacity). Unless he suffers a setback and misses Friday's practice, Clowney should be able to suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday. The 2014 first overall pick has logged 36 tackles (21 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and three pass defenses across 11…read more

Misses Wednesday's practice
Clowney (illness/knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: The 2014 first-round pick played through his knee injury in the Panthers' Week 15 loss to the Cowboys, recording three total tackles and two passes defended across 25 defensive snaps. Unless his injury worsened Sunday, Clowney's DNP is likely due to an illness. He'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited practice participation Thursday or Friday to play in Carolina's Week 16 matchup against the Cardinals.

Analysis: Clowney has now logged back-to-back full practices after having sat out Wednesday's session with rest/knee designations. The veteran edge rusher missed Carolina's loss to the Eagles in Week 14, but it seems like he's trending in the right direction to suit up versus Dallas on Sunday despite being listed as questionable.

Clowney (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Clowney missed practiced Wednesday with rest/knee designations after having been sidelined for Carolina's loss to the Eagles in Week 14. Barring any setbacks, though, the veteran edge rusher can be considered fully on track for Sunday's home game against Dallas.

Still nursing knee injury
Clowney (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The veteran edge rusher was sidelined for the Panthers' Week 14 loss to the Eagles due to a knee injury, and Wednesday's DNP is an indication that he could be at risk of missing additional time. Clowney will likely need to practice in a limited fashion Thursday or Friday to suit up for the Panthers' Week 15 matchup against the Cowboys.

Won't play vs. Eagles
Clowney (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Head coach Dave Canales said Friday that he expected Clowney to play Sunday despite not practicing all week, but the veteran edge rusher will observe the contest from the sidelines.

Misses another practice
Clowney (knee) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: Clowney also missed Wednesday's practice due to a combination of rest and a knee issue, but his lack of participation Thursday is credited only to injury. With fellow starting linebacker Josey Jewell (hamstring) having downgraded to a 'DNP' designation Thursday, the Panthers may simply be taking a cautious approach to Clowney's health. In order to have any chance of playing Sunday against Philadelphia, though, Clowney will likely have to upgrade to at least a limited practice session Friday.

Questionable for Sunday
Clowney (knee) logged a limited practice Friday and is questionable to play in Sunday's Week 13 game against Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Clowney has been dealing with a knee injury for most of November but hasn't yet missed a game due to the issue. The veteran pass rusher didn't practice at all Wednesday or Thursday, but his limited session Friday gives him a chance of suiting up Sunday. Clowney has tallied 30 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, over nine games on the campaign.

Analysis: Clowney didn't participate in practice Wednesday, but he progressed to a limited session Thursday and a full session Friday, setting him up to play Sunday. The veteran pass rusher has tallied 27 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks, through eight games on the campaign. Clowney will try to put pressure on Patrick Mahomes on Sunday along with D.J. Wonnum, who is also active after coming into the weekend with a questionable tag.

Clowney (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After logging a DNP on Wednesday, Clowney was able to put in a limited session Thursday and a full practice Friday, paving the way for him to possibly suit up Sunday. The 31-year-old has just 1.0 sacks through eight games this season as a rotational edge defender.

Suiting up in Germany
Clowney is active for Sunday's game against the Giants in Munich, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney had been listed as questionable after a knee injury kept him from practicing Wednesday, but he cleared up most of the concern about his health by turning in full sessions Thursday and Friday. He'll likely start at the outside linebacker spot opposite D.J. Wonnum (quadriceps), who will be make season debut after being activated from the PUP list Saturday.

Set to return Sunday
Clowney (shoulder) isn't among Carolina's inactives for Sunday's Week 8 battle against Denver, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney will return from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury he suffered Week 5 versus Chicago. The veteran edge rusher practiced in full all week, so his ability to suit up isn't surprising despite the fact that he came into Sunday with a questionable tag. Clowney has recorded 12 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, through five contests on the campaign.

Could play Sunday
Clowney (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
Analysis: Clowney has practiced in full all week after missing the Panthers' Week 7 loss to the Commanders with a shoulder injury, so it appears he's trending towards playing Sunday. However, if the first-year Panther is unable to play through the issue in Week 8, expect DJ Johnson to start opposite Charles Harris as part of Carolina's top outside linebacker duo.

Officially listed as doubtful
Clowney (shoulder) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Analysis: Clowney missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to a limited session Friday, but he nonetheless looks to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against Washington. Carolina's defensive front as a whole is severely depleted, so the team could struggle mightily to contain the Commanders' potent rushing attack Sunday, especially if Clowney is ultimately ruled out.

Opens week as DNP
Clowney (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Clowney was considered day-to-day after missing the Panthers' Week 6 loss to the Falcons with a shoulder issue, but Wednesday's DNP indicates he still could be ways away from returning. The veteran edge rusher will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday to avoid missing his second consecutive game in Week 7, when the Panthers take on the Commanders.

Analysis: Clowney missed the Panthers' Week 6 loss to the Falcons after sustaining a shoulder injury the week prior.

Analysis: Clowney injured his shoulder during a Week 5 loss to the Bears, but not before recording three tackles (two solo).

Upgrades to limited practice
Clowney (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Analysis: Clowney wasn't able to practice Wednesday, so it's encouraging to see him upgrade his activity level. He played 60 percent of defensive snaps during Carolina's loss to the Saints in Week 1 and figures to handle a similar starting role if cleared to suit up Sunday versus the Chargers.

Dealing with ankle injury
Clowney didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: It's unclear exactly when Clowney sustained this ankle injury, as he played 41 defensive snaps during the Panthers' Week 1 loss, but it could be concerning that Carolina held him out of practice Wednesday. Clowney's practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of whether the edge rusher will be able to suit up in Week 2.

Gets over illness
Clowney (illness) wasn't on the Panthers' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 game against the Saints.
Analysis: Clowney missed practice earlier in the week due to an illness, but he appears to have recorvered in time for Carolina's Week 1 contest. The 2014 first-overall pick inked a two-year, $20 million deal with the Panthers this past offseason after recording 9.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games with the Ravens in 2023.

Analysis: Per Rapoport, Clowney's deal has a maximum value of $24 million. While spending the 2023 season with the Ravens, Clowney finished with 43 tackles and 9.5 sacks over 17 games. By adding the top pick in the 2014 NFL Draft to the defensive mix, the Panthers will bolster a pass-rushing unit that's looking to make up for the recent trade of Brian Burns to the Giants.

Clowney finished the regular season with 9.5 sacks over 17 games and recorded 32 total tackles.
Analysis: The veteran signed with the Ravens late in training camp and turned in one of the best seasons of his career. With Odafe Oweh still coming into his own and David Ojabo working his way back to pre-injury form, Baltimore desperately needed edge help and Clowney delivered. Clowney and fellow veteran Kyle Van Noy combined for 18.5 sacks as Baltimore went on to lead the NFL in sacks (60).

Logs another sack in win
Clowney recorded three total tackles (two solo), including one sack in Sunday night's 20-10 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: The veteran edge rusher has now tallied 7.5 sacks through 12 games this year, eclipsing seven sacks in a season for the fourth time in his 10-year NFL career. Clowney now ranks second on the Ravens in sacks on the season, trailing only Justin Madubuike. The 2014 first overall pick has bounced around the league over the last five years, with Baltimore being his fourth team in that span, but it now seems as if he may have found a home for the immediate future.

Comes up big in revenge game
Clowney recorded six tackles (two solo) including two sacks in Sunday's 33-31 loss versus the Browns.
Analysis: Clowney made a big impact against his former team in Week 10, racking up multiple sacks in a single game for the second time this year. He's on pace for one of the most productive seasons of his career at age 30, and he should get plenty of opportunities to rush the passer versus the high-flying Bengals in Week 11.

Headed to Baltimore
Clowney is slated to sign with the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Clowney, who was released by the Browns this offseason, should complement Odafe Oweh and David Ojabo off the edge, while contributing to Baltimore's defense as a situational pass-rushing option. During the 2022 season, Clowney recorded 28 tackles and two sacks in 12 games with Cleveland.

Designated as post-June 1 cut
The Browns released Clowney on Wednesday, the team announced.
Analysis: This is a pure bookkeeping move, as Clowney's contract was already set to end. Cleveland is just spreading out the cap hit, making him a post-June 1 cut. Clowney recorded just two sacks in 12 games opposite Myles Garrett last season. The No. 1 overall pick of the 2014 Draft will be looking for his fifth team this offseason. Clowney has just 43 career sacks across 109 games.

Won't play Week 18
Clowney (coach's decision) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: The Browns' decision to hold Clowney out for the season finale comes as little surprise after he was sent home from practice Friday following his comments suggesting that he was already planning on leaving Cleveland in free agency this offseason. Alex Wright is expected to start at defensive end in place of Clowney, who finishes his lone season in Cleveland with 28 tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble in 12 appearances.

Analysis: Per Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram, head coach Kevin Stefanski has come to a decision on whether Clowney will play in Sunday's season finale against the Steelers, but Stefanski isn't ready to share that decision yet. Clowney will most likely be asked to stay home, allowing rookie Alex Wright to start, though official confirmation of such a move may not come until closer to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Not expected to play Sunday
Clowney (undisclosed) was told to stay home from practice today and is not expected to play Sunday versus the Steelers, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.
Analysis: It's unclear why Clowney was excused from reporting Friday, but it appears as if his 2022 campaign has come to an end. The 29-year-old will finish the year with 28 tackles, including two sacks, while deflecting three passes with a forced fumble and fumble recovery over 12 contests. Clowney signed a one-year contract with the Browns in May and will likely test the open market this offseason.

Not spotted at practice Friday
Clowney (ankle) wasn't spotted during the media portion of Friday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Clowney suffered an ankle injury during the team's Week 2 loss to the Jets that sidelined him for Week 3, and he appears to be trending towards another absence after failing to practice ahead of Week 4. The team hasn't ruled him out yet, so fantasy managers should still wait until his official designation for Sunday's contest before confirming lineups.

Ruled out for Week 3
Clowney (ankle) won't play Thursday against the Steelers, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Clowney was spotted in a walking boot after Cleveland's Week 2 loss to the Jets, and the short turnaround won't afford the pass rusher enough time to get healthy. Prior to getting hurt, Clowney had two solo tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery against New York, with the last three all coming on the same play. Clowney's next opportunity to take the field will come in Week 4 against the Falcons.

Spotted in walking boot
Clowney (ankle) was in a walking boot after Sunday's loss to the Jets, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Clowney left Week 2 action in the third quarter and was unable to return. Although the walking boot doesn't necessarily equate to anything significant, it certainly isn't a positive sign, either. With the Browns on a short week and playing Thursday against the Steelers, Clowney will need to heal quickly if he's going to play.

Analysis: Clowney was unable to practice Wednesday, but his full participation Thursday should equate to the 29-year-old taking the field in Week 1 against the Panthers. Embarking on his ninth season, Clowney will look to build on the nine sacks he recorded last year, his most since 2018.

Analysis: Clowney continues to periodically sit out practices, this time labeled with an illness and elbow injury. It's unclear if these absences are just rest, or if he's actually in danger of missing Week 1.

Clowney had two tackles and two sacks in Week 18's 21-16 win over Cincinnati.
Analysis: Clowney finished up strong, recording 5.5 sacks over his last three games played. He posted 37 tackles and nine sacks over 14 games, the most he's played since 2018. That kind of production is why Cleveland pursued Clowney in 2020 but was ultimately spurned by the edge rusher.

Clowney recorded six tackles and sacked Ben Roethlisberger twice while also forcing a fumble in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: After missing the Browns' previous two games while on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Clowney looked plenty healthy in his return to the lineup. The tackle and sack totals were new season highs for Clowney, who is now up to seven in the latter category for the campaign. He's quietly been an excellent complement to star pass rusher Myles Garrett at the other end of the Browns' defensive line.

Analysis: As expected, Clowney won't be available for Monday's matchup with the Raiders.

Clowney, who is recovering from offseason knee surgery, appeared to be at full speed during the Browns' recent minicamp, Jake Trotter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Clowney missed the remainder of the Titans' 2020 campaign after suffering a torn meniscus in Week 10.

And, much like last year, he'll be rehabbing from winter surgery while he goes through the process. Clowney ultimately settled for a one-year, $13 million contract from Tennessee last year, signing in September and playing eight games before the meniscus injury ended his season. He finished with only 19 tackles, six QB hits and no sacks, so he…read more

Opts for season-ending surgery
Clowney underwent season-ending surgery Wednesday to repair the meniscus in his left knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Clowney has been on injured reserve since Nov. 21 with the knee injury, but the Titans were initially hopeful that he would avoid surgery before making a late-season return to the lineup. The edge rusher apparently didn't progress as well as initially anticipated, however, and his first season in Tennessee will come to an unceremonious end after he was advised to go under the knife. After signing a one-year, $13 million deal in the offseason, Clowney wasn't able to provide much of a boost to…read more

No timeline for return
Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that he doesn't have a clear timetable for Clowney's (knee) return, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Clowney isn't eligible to practice for two more weeks, but there is growing concern that he'll require more time to return. Vrabel has been coy about Clowney's injury status and whether surgery would be required, and it's fair to believe his IR stint could last longer than three weeks. Derick Roberson stepped into Clowney's role in Week 11 and figures to continue doing so for the time being.

Will miss at least three weeks
The Titans placed Clowney (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: It's been a disappointing season for Clowney thus far, and this is another bump in the road, as he won't be eligible to return until a Week 14 matchup against Jacksonville at the earliest. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, surgery on Clowney's meniscus could be the pass rusher's best course of action. Derick Roberson is expected to get more playing time in Clowney's place for the time being.

Won't play Week 11
Clowney (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Ravens, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.
Analysis: Clowney's lingering knee injury kept him off the practice field this week, and he'll sit out for a second time in three games. The 27-year-old has struggled to get consistent pressure this year anyway, recording just 11 quarterback pressures and no sacks through eight games. He'll aim to recover fully before the Week 12 matchup against the Colts.

Practicing fully Tuesday
Clowney (knee) was a full practice participant Tuesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 27-year-old was inactive for Sunday's win over the Bears due to the knee issue, so it's a good sign to see him practicing with no limitations a couple days later. Clowney's meniscus injury may still require surgery at some point, but he appears on track to play Thursday versus the Colts.

Inactive as expected
Clowney (knee) won't suit up in Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: It was reported earlier Sunday that Clowney was not expected to suit up in the game, as he's dealing with a meniscus injury that could require surgery, so this new's isn't quite surprising. With Clowney sidelined, look for Derick Roberson to draw the start at outside linebacker and Wyatt Ray to see a slight uptick in snaps as well in Sunday's game.

The Titans are expected to make Clowney (knee) inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Though Tennessee lists Clowney as questionable for the contest, his chances of playing seemed to take a hit Saturday, when Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported that the edge rusher was dealing with a meniscus injury that could require surgery. The Titans seem content to take a week-to-week approach with Clowney for now, but he'll at least be on tap for his first absence of the season Sunday.

Could undergo surgery
Clowney may undergo surgery to repair a meniscus injury in his knee, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Clowney is still considered a game-time decision for Sunday's game versus the Bears, but the fact that surgery is on the table seems to have him trending in the wrong direction. If the 27-year-old is ultimately ruled out, Derick Roberson or Nick Dzubnar could see added reps in pass-rushing situations.

Clowney (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bears, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney didn't practice all week, and coach Mike Vrabel explained that he'll be evaluated over the weekend and should be considered a game-time decision. The 27-year-old defensive end played through this injury last week against the Bengals and logged a season-low 62 percent of the defensive snaps.

Clowney (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals after being a full participant in Friday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney was all systems go Friday after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, and his return to practice was enough to get the defensive end's name off the injury report.

Analysis: Clowney was limited due to a hip injury Wednesday, but he already appears to have gotten back to full health. Coming off a Week 1 performance against the Broncos in which he notched just three tackles (two solo) and one quarterback hit despite handling 80 percent of defensive snaps, Clowney will be looking to make a larger impact as a pass rusher during Sunday's game against the Jaguars. He stands to benefit from Vic Beasley's return to the lineup.

Clowney (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
Analysis: Clowney battled a hip injury for a bit in 2019, and it's unclear if this issue is related. He played through it with the Seahawks, though, so this isn't a major red flag since he's still able to practice. It's worth keeping an eye on his status throughout the practice week, though, as he made an immediate impact in Monday's win, recording a quarterback pressure and three tackles -- one for a loss.

Signing with Titans
Clowney has elected to sign with the Titans, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Saints were also in the mix, but ultimately Clowney chose the Titans and will reportedly ink a one-year, $15 million deal with the team. Clowney thus reunites with coach Mike Vrabel, who was his position coach and defensive coordinator when the two were with the Texans. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft logged just 31 tackles and three sacks in 13 games with Seattle in 2019, but he's now a prime candidate for a bounce-back campaign while bolstering Tennessee's pass rush.

Analysis: The first overall pick of the 2014 draft, Clowney worked under then linebackers coach and eventual defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel with the Texans. Now head coach of the Titans, Vrabel will reunite with one of the league's premier pass-rush talents. Clowney has been injury prone at times in his career and has never had double-digit sacks in a season, but joining a defense with sack artists like Harold Landry and Vic Beasley could help push him over the top.

Analysis: The 27-year-old battled the injury throughout the final stages of the season and eventually went under the knife to address the issue, and he's now fully healthy a few months later. Clowney remains without a team more than six weeks into free agency, as he presumably hasn't received the type of offers he expected on the open market.

May stay with Seattle?
GM John Schneider suggested the Seahawks could still re-sign Clowney (core muscle), Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 27-year-old pass rusher is easily the biggest prize remaining on the free-agent market, presumably disappointed with the offers he's received so far. Clowney might consider a one-year deal to rehabilitate his value, coming off an injury-affected 2019 campaign where he had only 31 tackles and three sacks.

General manager John Schneider said Clowney has successful core muscle surgery, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Clowney has battled this injury since November, and offseason surgery was always in the plans for the defensive end. The recovery timeline isn't clear, but it shouldn't affect his contract talks much. The Seahawks still are trying to re-sign Clowney, but the coveted pass-rusher is expected to hit the open market in March and could command top dollar despite posting an underwhelming three sacks in 2019.

Analysis: The 26-year-old played through the injury throughout the final stretch of the season, knowing that offseason surgery was a likely possibility. Clowney will have about a 5-to-6 week recovery after the procedure, so he should be fully healthy for the official start of free agency in March.

Clowney (groin), who made 12 tackles and 1.5 sacks over two playoff games, finished with 31 tackles, three sacks, four forced fumbles and an interception over 13 regular-season games.

Analysis: Clowney didn't miss practice this week and even practiced in full Friday, so he's ready to help Seattle in the second round of the playoffs. Coach Pete Carroll believes Clowney's health is improving. "As the week progressed, he felt much better than he did last week, so he's in good shape and ready to go," Carroll told Boyle.

Analysis: Clowney has been dominating since the Seahawks acquired him on Aug. 31, racking up three sacks, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, two defensive TDs and one interception in 10 games. His sketchy medical history also traveled with him to the Pacific Northwest, as he's showed up in injury reports this month. According to head coach Pete Carroll, Clowney emerged from a Week 10 win at San Francisco "with a little something. Just checking him out, making sure he's OK." Clowney was unable…read more

Questionable to face Philly
Clowney (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday but still has a chance to suit up Week 12. The 26-year-old has only three sacks this season, but his absence would leave a sizable hole in Seattle's defensive front. Branden Jackson and L.J. Collier would see increased roles should Clowney be unable to play Sunday.

Misses practice again
Clowney (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney has yet to practice this week, so a return Friday would be key in determining his availability for Sunday against the Eagles. L.J. Collier and Branden Jackson would stand to see increased snaps if the South Carolina product were to miss time.

Misses Wednesday's practice
Clowney (knee) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Coming off of his best game of the season against the 49ers, Clowney is hampered following the bye week. The former first-rounder has missed just one game since the start of the 2017 season, and his absence would be a major hit to the team's pass rush. Any worries about his status for Sunday's game against the Eagles will be appeased if he can practice Thursday or Friday.

Scores against 49ers
Clowney recorded five solo tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery, which he returned for a touchdown, in Monday's 27-24 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Clowney was a thorn in Jimmy Garoppolo's side all night, as the 49ers' offensive front couldn't contain him. The defensive end tallied five quarterback hits and forced Garoppolo into numerous errant throws. This was Clowney's best performance since arriving in Seattle via trade from the Texans, and he'll look to produce a similar effort when the Seahawks play next Week 12 against the Eagles.

Not on final injury report
Clowney (toe/knee) isn't on the final injury report ahead of Monday's game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney's absence from Friday's practice set off alarm bells, but it appears he'll be good to go in Monday's prime time clash between NFC West rivals.

Non-participant Friday
Clowney was a non-participant at Friday's practice with toe and knee injuries, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney's injuries have held him out of practice entirely so far this week, a concerning development ahead of a key divisional matchup against the 49ers on Monday night. The Seahawks will hold one more practice session Saturday, and Clowney will likely need to participate in some capacity in order to have a chance of playing Monday. L.J. Collier is in line to take over at defensive end should Clowney be ruled out.
