The Seattle Seahawks may be without their star defensive end, Jadeveon Clowney, on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Clowney is officially listed as questionable with a hip injury, and coach Pete Carroll revealed the star pass rusher was not at Seattle’s practice on Friday while he got treatment on his hip at another location.
“He had a little off-campus treatment today,” Carroll said on Friday. “So, we’ll see how he is on game day.”
Clowney had a monstrous game against the 49ers in Week 10, earning NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. Not having him against an Eagles team that is missing starting tackle Lane Johnson would be a big blow for this Seattle defense.
Carroll said Clowney will meet up with the team before the game on Sunday, and they’ll work him out on the field before determining if he will be able to play.
If Clowney cannot go, the Seahawks will rely heavily on Quinton Jefferson and Rasheem Green to anchor the pass rush, with Ziggy Ansah, Shaquem Griffin and potentially rookie L.J. Collier seeing an increase in snap counts as well.
Look for an update on Clowney’s status roughly 90 minutes before Seattle takes on Philadelphia on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. PT.
