Lions

Texans

• Rookie OLB Jadeveon Clowney is expected to play a limited role in Week 11. (John McClain)
• Clowney mentioned that his knee is doing better, but still isn’t quite 100 percent healed.

“My knee feels good. Having the time off really helped,” Clowney said, per McClain. “It’s still not 100 percent, but it’s a lot better.”
