    NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports the Browns are hosting Jadeveon Clowney for a visit.

    Clowney inked a one-year deal with the Cowboys last offseason and totaled 8.5 sacks. He has become the league’s preeminent gun for hire on defense, posting at least eight sacks with four different teams. The last time Clowney spent more than one year on a roster was from 2021 to 2022 in Cleveland. After trading Myles Garrett this offseason, the Browns could certainly use some extra firepower at EDGE.

    Clowney totaled 8.5 sacks, 40 quarterback pressures, 26 solo tackles and six TFLs with the Cowboys last year. The signing reunites Clowney, 33, with the team that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2014. He played with them through 2018 before bouncing around the league on one- and two-year deals. He remains a very effective player, having posted a career-best 16.8 percent pass-rush win rate just last year. Clowney’s deal reportedly includes a $5.5 million base salary. He can make up to $8 million.
  • FA Defensive End #97
    The need is clearly there with second-round pick Jaylahn Tuimoloau, Micheal Clemons and Arden Key competing for the role next to Laiatu Latu at the moment. Boyd also mentions Cameron Jordan, Jadeveon Clowney and Leonard Floyd among others as possibilities. The veteran edge rusher and wideout markets are still unfolding ahead of training camp.
  • DAL Defensive End #42
    Clowney (hamstring) attempted to give it a go in warmups after practicing once, a limited session on Wednesday, this week. He will be missed against the Lions’ top-notch offense. The Cowboys have once again declared Blue, the once-exciting rookie, inactive this week. He does not need to be stashed at this time.
  • DAL Defensive End #42
    Clowney will suit up against against an injury-marred Eagles offensive line after missing practice time this week while dealing with a shoulder/neck issue. It’s a plus for a Dallas defense that has gotten much healthier over the past few weeks. Dallas declared RB Jaydon Blue, WR Jalen Tolbert, OL Hakeem Adeniji, DT Jay Toia, and DT Perrion Winfrey inactive against the Eagles.

    According to the report, Clowney was arrested for trespassing and failure to identify in his hometown of Rock Hill, South Carolina, on September 12th. Both charges are misdemeanors. Clowney reportedly tried to park his car in a closed parking lot where parking was not permitted. The veteran pass rusher signed with the Cowboys last Sunday and participated in practice this week. It would be surprising if he faced any kind of suspension for this.
  • DAL Linebacker
    Shortly after their overtime win against the Giants, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones announced the team signed Clowney after meeting with him last week. Clowney, who totaled 5.5 sacks in 14 games with the Panthers last season, will likely serve as a situational pass rusher once he gets up to speed. Depending on how his week goes, it’s possible we see him in Week 3 when the Cowboys face the Bears at Soldier Field.
  • The Cowboys are looking for defensive help after being shredded by the Eagles in Week 1. Without EDGE rushers Micah Parsons, who was dealt to the Packers in August, Dallas logged a 15 percent pressure rate against the Eagles, the 16th highest rate in Week 1. Last year they led the NFL with a 31 percent pressure rate. Clowney, 32, totaled 46 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 14 games with the Panthers last season. He’s one year removed from a career-high 9.5 sack season with the Ravens.
  • FA Linebacker #7
    Clowney was released by the Panthers after one season and remains a free agent. The veteran pass rusher told Josina Anderson he has “been keeping in touch with four to five teams” but didn’t specify which teams he was in contact with. Clowney totaled 46 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 14 games with the Panthers last season, but is just one year removed from a career-high 9.5 sack season with the Ravens. He’ll be 32 at the start of this season and will serve primarily as a situational pass rusher wherever he may land.
  • FA Linebacker #7
    Clowney was a cut candidate heading into the draft, and then the Panthers spent both of their Day Two picks on pass rushers, sealing Clowney’s fate. The veteran EDGE is no stranger to free agency, having changed teams in all but one of the past six seasons. He totaled 5.5 sacks and broke up four passes with the Panthers in 2024. Though Clowney never lived up to his No. 1 overall pick hype, he is a high-floor outside linebacker who shouldn’t have any issues finding working somewhere around the league in 2025.
  • CAR Linebacker #7
    Carolina drafted two defensive ends on Day 2 of the draft — Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen — and signed Patrick Jones II in free agency earlier this offseason. It’s possible that they move on from Clowney to save some of the $13.775 million he’s set to count against the cap in 2025. A trade would save them $9.775 million, while a release would save $7.775 million. Clowney’s entering his age-32 season after starting 14 games for the Panthers last year and notching 5.5 sacks.

    Cowboys TE Princeton Fant (knee) was carted off the practice field Monday.

    Fant was engaged in a block during practice and took the brunt of a knee-to-knee collision. He was unable to place weight on his left leg, requiring the cart to depart the practice field. Fant will undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. The special teams contributor has appeared in 11 games since signing as an undrafted free agent in 2023.

    Cardinals WR Michael Wilson (undisclosed) did not practice Monday.

    By all accounts, Wilson has been a beast on the field for the Cardinals through the early portions of camp, with multiple beat reporters hinting at the potential for him to end the 2026 season as the team’s leading wide receiver. The injury was not disclosed but Wilson was seen on the sideline in sweats cheering on his fellow receivers through position drills. It doesn’t appear to be something that could jeopardize his status as one of the team’s top pass catchers as the regular season inches closer, but fantasy managers will want to track his status in the coming days.

    Rams TE Davis Allen (quadricep) missed practice Monday.

    Speaking to media Monday, head coach Sean McVay relayed that it would be “some time” before Allen returns to the practice field considering the nature of the soft tissue injury. McVay added, “You don’t want to rush him back, Davis is going to be a big part of what we do this year.” Allen set career highs in his third professional season in 2025, catching 24 passes for 208 yards and three touchdowns, ranking second on the team in offensive snaps behind only Colby Parkinson.

    Ravens HC Jesse Minter said “I don’t know that there’s a deadline” in naming a starting center.

    “On of them in the mix of the battle is coming off an injury. That timeline may or may not be perfect for that first game,” Minter relayed via the team’s website Monday. Recent signee Ethan Pocic is coming off a torn Achilles in Week 14 of the 2025 season but possesses the most starting experience of the players battling to supplant longtime starter Tyler Linderbaum following his departure in free agency. Minter’s comments, while slightly vague, seem to point towards Pocic as the desired starter, assuming his injury recovery continues to progress without hiccup. Fellow free agent additions Danny Pinter and Jovaughn Gwyn will compete with Pocic for the starting role.

    Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur said the team is being cautious with Trey Benson after he had a “flare up” in his surgically repaired knee.

    Benson had in-season meniscus surgery last season and never returned to the field. LaFleur said the team doesn’t anticipate this flare-up becoming a multi-week issue, but they’re clearly going to do what they need to do to help him manage things. Benson is competing for touches with James Conner and Tyler Allgeier in camp, but there’s been some belief that the Cardinals could keep four running backs on the final roster when all is said and done. Benson has a career rushing line of 92-451-1 through his first two seasons in the league.

    Patriots activated RB Terrell Jennings from the active/non-football injury list.

    Jennings is good to go after an undisclosed injury sidelined him for the first week of training camp. The third-year back is expected to compete for RB3 duties this season.

    NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports Browns WR KC Concepcion is expecting “to be fine” after appearing to injure his shoulder on Monday.

    Concepcion landed hard on his right shoulder near the end of Monday’s practice and was in visible pain while making his way to the sideline. Despite the initial scare, it doesn’t appear this is anything too serious. The rookie receiver has made a strong early impression in training camp and is one of the more intriguing late-round dart throws in fantasy drafts this season.

    Broncos HC Sean Payton said “there’s no hurry” to bring in free agent TE/QB Taysom Hill.

    Payton acknowledged that he will speak to Hill in five days when the two meet at Canton for Drew Brees’ Hall of Fame induction, and Payton is planning to gauge whether Hill is interested in playing another season. The 35-year-old offensive weapon made a name for himself in Payton’s offense from 2018 to 2021, and continued to be a primary contributor for the Saints long after Payton left. Hill will turn 36 before the start of the season and has had a quiet offseason thus far after his contract expired at the end of the 2025 season.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Mike Evans’ quad strain is “very minor.”

    Given the way injuries have piled up for the 49ers during their first week of camp, this is pretty good news. Evans, 32, could miss a few days due to his injury, but the veteran receiver isn’t expected to miss any significant time. Evans was having a strong first few days of camp before his injury and should be firmly in the conversation as a WR2 for fantasy this season.

    KC Concepcion left Monday’s practice with a shoulder injury.

    Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot posted a video to her X account on Monday, where Concepcion can be seen walking to the sideline with a trainer while holding his right shoulder. We don’t know much beyond what we saw on Cabot’s video, so this will be one to keep an eye on. Concepcion has enjoyed a strong camp with the Browns through the first week and is expected to be a focal point in the offense in his rookie year under Todd Monken.
