With the playoffs, there is no tomorrow, you can't miss games unless you are injured to the point of needing surgery.
He still might play in limited minutes. It's up to the medical staff. It's not a question of toughness at all - if he can't run or cut or plant on that knee, then he can't go and will be no help out there. That was a very bad knee injury he suffered and I've said all along that I really don't expect anything from Clowney until the 2016 season.

LOL what are you babbling about? Well if it's a structural problem, then there's nothing against him, but if it's a pain tolerance issue, he really needs to be out there. This current injury isn't a knee injury at all, it's something wrong with his foot. If it was a knee injury, I'd want him shut down for sure. If his foot is broken, then he'll need surgery and him missing the game would be acceptable. Basically if you are truly injured, it's okay to miss a playoff game, if you are merely hurt, it's not acceptable.

At this point Clowney might miss the super bowl (if we are lucky enough to ever get there) due to a paper cut. Soft.
It's not about toughness he's just fragile. Last year he tore his meniscus and tried to come back when he could of easily sat out then ended up needing microfracture
I can't wait for tomorrow's game. Got tickets and pregame pass. All the analysts are predicting a loss and I for one think it will be close going either way. We need our defense to carry us and that's no secret. And no TO from Hoyer or anyone on offense. We need the crowd to go crazy.
There's just so many unknowns that this game is really tough to pick. I want to say that the defense shows out and is dominant leading to a Texans win 5-3
There are so many unknowns that I feel one team will blow the other one out. Problem is, I'm not sure which. It easily could be either.
