Undergoes successful surgery
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.

Surgery on tap
Clowney will undergo core muscle surgery in about a week, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
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.

Underwhelming contract year
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's contract year didn't go as planned, as he dealt with knee, toe and hip injuries in November and has battled a core injury, which will likely require offseason surgery, since December, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. The 2014 first-overall draft pick recorded 30 quarterback pressures and three sacks compared to 48 and nine, respectively, in 2018, when he played on the opposite side of J.J. Watt. The combination of Clowney's injury and his modest campaign clouds his…read more

Clear for divisional round
Clowney (core) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's divisional-round contest in Green Bay, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
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. Clowney will aim to disrupt Aaron Rodgers and a Packers offense that was middle of the pack in the NFL in sacks surrendered (36) during the regular season.

Limited again Thursday
Clowney (core) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney was held out of practice completely last Thursday with this same injury and was ultimately able to play through the ailment, so there is still a good chance the defensive end will suit up for Sunday's NFC divisional round. If Clowney is limited or unable to suit up against the Packers, L.J. Collier is in line to see an increased role along the Seahawks' defensive line.

Back on injury report
Clowney (core) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney will likely have offseason surgery to repair this issue, but he played through the pain in the wild-card win over the Eagles, logging an 83-percent snap share, five solo tackles and a sack. There doesn't seem to be any legitimate worry about his status for Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Packers as long as he doesn't suffer a setback.

Ready for wild-card round
Clowney (core) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's playoff tilt against the Eagles, Liz Matthews of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Clowney missed back-to-back practices due to a core muscle injury to begin the week, but he doesn't appear to be bothered by the issue any longer. He'll assume his usual starting role at defensive end in Philadelphia on Sunday.

Missing more practice
Clowney (core) was listed as a non-participant for Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Although Clowney suited up in Week 17 without an injury designation, he appears to be still resting a nagging core-muscle injury. It's still not a major concern that he's missing practice time, but if he suffers a setback, L.J. Collier and Rasheem Green would be in line to receive an uptick in snaps.

Sits out Wednesday's practice
Clowney (core) didn't participate at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney didn't have an injury designation for Week 17 and played 66 percent of defensive snaps, but it's not a major surprise he's resting to begin the week given his nagging core muscle injury. There's been no word of a setback, so there shouldn't be major concern regarding his availability for the Wild Card matchup.

All clear for Sunday
Clowney (core) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's pivotal matchup against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney has missed three of the past five games due to the core injury, but he will be ready to rock for the season finale. He'll likely assume his usual starting role at defensive end for the contest. Clowney has racked up 30 tackles (20 solo) and three sacks this season for the Seahawks.

Should be ready for season finale
Coach Pete Carroll expects Clowney (core) to be ready for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Clowney missed Week 15's game due to an illness, and his Week 16 absence is attributed to the core injury. However, Carroll is optimistic Clowney will be ready when the Seahawks look to take the NFC West crown on Sunday night, but the defensive end will need to get through the practice week without a setback. Clowney had his best game of the season in Week 10 against the Niners -- he recorded five solo tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery which he returned for a touchdown.

Inactive, as expected
Clowney (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Clowney was considered doubtful for this contest, and he'll miss his second straight game. His numbers are down this year, as he only has three sacks after posting nine last year, but Clowney still has 30 quarterback pressures this year. In his place, Rasheem Green is expected to start at defensive end.

Doubtful to play Sunday
Clowney (core) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney missed Week 15 due to an illness on top of the core injury. While he is no longer sick, he still didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. L.J. Collier is looking at increased playing time if the South Carolina product sits again.

Continues managing core injury
Clowney (core) didn't participate at Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney has recovered from the illness but, unsurprisingly, continues to battle the core muscle injury. The 26-year-old likely won't fully recover during the season and he may need offseason surgery to address the issue, leaving his status up in the air for Week 16.

Flu is behind him
According to coach Pete Carroll, Clowney (groin/illness) is "beyond his flu" and is now working towards progressing back, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports.
Analysis: Clowney missed Sunday's game against the Panthers with a bad flu, but he is also carrying groin and core injuries, bringing his Week 16 status into question. Keep an eye on this week's injury reports to get a better sense of Clowney's progression towards playing against the Cardinals this coming Sunday.

Doesn't travel due to illness
Coach Pete Carroll said Clowney didn't travel for Sunday's game against Carolina because he was "violently ill," John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney was hampered by a groin injury as well, but it appears the illness is what kept him out of Week 15's contest. It has been reported by Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune that Clowney will need offseason surgery to repair a core injury, so the injuries are stacking up for the feared pass rusher. His condition will be monitored leading up to Week 16's divisional clash against the Cardinals.

Won't play Sunday
The Seahawks downgraded Clowney (groin/illness) from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Clowney returned to practice in a limited fashion Friday after the core-muscle injury and an illness kept him off the field the previous two days, but the Seahawks apparently weren't encouraged enough by his progress to sign off on him playing this weekend. With Clowney sitting out Sunday and Ezekiel Ansah (neck) shaping up a game-time decision, the Seahawks could be forced to rely heavily on youngsters Rasheem Greene and L.J. Collier at defensive end.

Questionable for Sunday
Clowney (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Despite not having practiced Wednesday or Thursday due to an apparent illness, Henderson quotes coach Pete Carroll as saying Clowney will "probably be OK" to suit up Sunday. Given that the 26-year-old has been managing a core injury as well as an illness, he may not be at full capacity even if he is able to go.

Coach Pete Carroll was vague about Clowney's status for Week 15's matchup against the Panthers, saying the defensive end is "going to have to make it through the week to be ready."

Continues to manage core injury
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Clowney (core) is "hurting" and is "going to have to make it through the week to be ready" for Sunday's game at Carolina, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Clowney played a season-low 59 percent of defensive snaps during Sunday's loss to the Rams, as he continues to manage the core-muscle injury which may necessitate offseason surgery. The 26-year-old's availability for Week 15 appears to be in doubt, but his status likely won't receive additional clarity until the Seahawks return to practice later in the week.

Ready to rock
Clowney (core) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
Analysis: Clowney hasn't been as productive in the sack department this year, but he's been plenty disruptive with 29 quarterback pressures and six tackles for loss. The Seahawks will be without Ezekiel Ansah (neck), so it's up to Clowney and Rasheem Green to pressure Jared Goff off the edge.

Analysis: Coach Pete Carroll said Monday he's "optimistic" Clowney will be able to play Sunday versus the Vikings, but he won't start the week on the practice field. The 26-year-old will need to practice at some point this week to instill legitimate confidence in his availability for this weekend.

Analysis: Clowney didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday but still has a chance to suit up Week 12.

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.

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.

Returns INT for six
Clowney returned an interception for a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Clowney welcomed himself to the NFC West by snagging a Kyler Murray screen pass with one hand and taking it to the house on the Cardinals' second drive of the game. This was the first interception of Clowney's career. It has been a slow start for the highly touted defensive end, however, as he's posted just six tackles and a sack through four games to complement the pick-six.

Records sack in Seahawks debut
Clowney registered two tackles, including one sack, and one pass breakup in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Clowney lived up to the hype in his first game for the Seahawks, putting loads of pressure on Andy Dalton while also working effectively in pass coverage. The Seahawks deployed Clowney in a situational role, as he played 48 of 77 defensive snaps, which is two less than defensive ends Quinton Jefferson and Rasheem Green. Clowney will look to carry this momentum into Week 2's game versus the Steelers.

Ready to play DE in Seattle
Clowney revealed part of the reason he chose the Seahawks is that they run a 4-3 defense in which he can play defensive end, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. "They run a 4-3 here," Clowney said. "I haven't been in that system for a while. That played a big part of it."
Analysis: Since Clowney didn't sign Houston's franchise tag until after the trade, he had the final say in his destination. The opportunity to play more as a defensive end was intriguing to Clowney because he feels he excels as a pass rusher, especially when he doesn't have to worry about dropping into coverage like he did as a linebacker. Clowney is now free to put on weight -- he's currently listed at 255 pounds, which is 11 pounds lighter than his combine weight -- to pair with his elite athleticism,…read more

The trade that will send Clowney from the Texans to the Seahawks has been finalized, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The return for Clowney was Barkevious Mingo and Jacob Martin, as well as a 2020 third-round draft pick. Additionally, per ESPN.com, Clowney has officially signed his franchise tender, paving the way for him to be eligible to take the field for Seattle in Week 1. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft should provide a huge boost to a Seahawks pass-rushing unit that lost Frank Clark this offseason, via a trade to the Chiefs.

It's worth pointing out that Clowney, who held out throughout training camp in an effort to receive a long-term extension, isn't necessarily a lock to re-sign with Seattle.

May hold out into season
Clowney (contract dispute) is willing to miss games in the regular season, Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reports.
Analysis: There was always a sense that Clowney, who has yet to sign a franchise tag, would report in time for the regular season, but that changed Tuesday. Clowney fired his agent and met with the Dolphins amid reports that the Texans were shopping him. He has some leverage. The Texans need to add an impact player on offense and are willing to deal Clowney, who can be choosy before signing off on a deal to another team.

Analysis: Reports surfaced a couple days ago said that the Texans had worked out a deal to trade Clowney, but it appears they are still working through that process.

Analysis: O'Brien did express confidence that Clowney will be in good shape and ready to go when he does report. The 26-year-old has yet to sign his $15.9 million franchise tender or come to terms with an extension with Houston.

Analysis: Clowney is thus expected to skip most or all of training camp, but he likely won't extend his holdout into the regular season the way Le'Veon Bell did in 2018. The 26-year-old pass rusher is scheduled to make $15.9 million under the franchise tag in 2019, with potential to top $20 million per year if he hits the open market next offseason. Houston doesn't have much depth at outside linebacker behind Clowney and fellow starter Whitney Mercilus.

To sit out minicamp
Clowney has yet to sign his franchise tag and is not expected to attend the Texans' minicamp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Houston's mandatory minicamp begins June 11, so unless Clowney's contract situation resolves overnight it's likely he won't be in attendance. The deadline for the two sides to come to an agreement is July 15, but it remains to be seen how long the 26-year-old intends to remain away from the team. The pass rusher notched 47 tackles and nine sacks in 15 games last season.

Skipping OTAs
Clowney still hasn't signed his franchise tag and remains away from the team during the start of OTAs, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Clowney isn't required to be present for offseason workouts until mandatory minicamp arrives in mid-June. It's unknown how long he plans on staying away from the team as he looks to swap the franchise tag for a longer-term contract. July 15 is the deadline for the two sides to reach such an agreement.

Not close to deal
Clowney and the Texans haven't made much progress in contract negotiations, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Clowney hasn't signed his franchise tag and won't be present Monday for the start of the Texans' voluntary offseason program. He's hoping for a long-term agreement before the July 15 deadline, with the threat of a prolonged holdout if he doesn't receive his desired contract. The Texans have plenty of cap space, but they may be hesitant to pay Clowney as an elite pass rusher given his career total of 29 sacks in 62 games. He does have a strong track record defending the run, and 18.5 of those…read more

Receives non-exclusive tag
The Texans have applied the non-exclusive franchise tag on Clowney, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: In the event that the Texans can't re-sign Clowney (the team's stated preference is to bring him back) in advance of free agency, they can match any offer sheet he receives, or alternatively acquire two first-round draft picks if they decline to do so. The No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft is coming off a 2018 campaign in which he logged 47 tackles and nine sacks in 15 games.

Could be franchised
The Texans are expected to designate Clowney as their franchise player if a long-term contract extension cannot be worked out, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: There appears to be a mutual desire for Clowney to continue his career with Houston. "Of course, I want to come back," Clowney said. "I promise to the Texans and whoever else is watching that I'm going to be a much better, improved player next season. I haven't been thinking about a contract. If I come back and play well like I know I'm going to, contract will take care of itself." The 25-year-old linebacker/defensive end has overcome the durability concerns that dogged him early in his career…read more

Five tackles in loss
Clowney recorded five tackles in Saturday's 21-7 wild-card loss to the Colts.
Analysis: After two injury-marred seasons to start his career, Clowney has established himself as a legitimate IDP threat. He's recorded 18.5 sacks, forced three fumbles, recovered five fumbles, and scored two touchdowns over the last two seasons. As an unrestricted free agent in 2019, Clowney will demand a handsome salary, one that the Texans are expected to pay.

Posts sack in loss
Clowney recorded eight tackles (five solo), including a sack, a pass defensed, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in Sunday's loss the Philadelphia.
Analysis: Clowney made one of the biggest plays of the game Sunday, strip-sacking Nick Foles and recovering the fumble himself. The sack brings his season total to nine, a half-sack short of his career high. Looking ahead, the Texans take on the Jaguars in Week 17.

Analysis: Clowney played all but three defensive snaps Saturday as he continues to play a pivotal role on the Texans' defensive line. The 25-year-old has 37 total tackles and eight sacks in 13 games, and will face the Eagles -- and potentially backup quarterback Nick Foles -- next week on the road.

Takes down quarterback
Clowney's only tackle went for a sack in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Clowney now has three sacks in his last three contests and has 5.5 on the year. He's becoming more and more disruptive in each game, and the stats are beginning to reflect it. Look for him to continue taking down the quarterback when the Texans return from their upcoming bye week.

Dressing for Sunday's game
Clowney (groin) is active for Sunday's game versus the Broncos.
Analysis: Clowney has been kept without a sack in four of seven games this season. The Broncos' offensive line, which ranks fourth in the league according to Pro Football Focus, will look to make it five.

Expected to play Sunday
Clowney (groin) is expected to play Sunday against the Broncos, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Questionable for Week 9
Clowney (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
Analysis: Clowney was added to the injury report Thursday when he logged a limited practice. The fourth-year pro practiced in a limited capacity Friday as well. If Clowney misses time on the field Sunday, Duke Ejiofor could see an increase in snaps on defense.

Limited in Thursday's practice
Clowney (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Clowney was not listed on Houston's injury report to begin the week, so his limited participation Thursday is unexpected. The Texans' defense has come together in recent weeks, and Clowney's ability to harass quarterbacks and make key stops against opposing running backs has been a key part of that success. Clowney's participation in Friday's practice should serve to further illuminate his chances of suiting up for Houston's game against the Broncos in Week 9.
