Jadeveon Clowner (illness) set to miss practice

Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is dealing with an illness and will miss Wednesday’s practice.

Fantasy Impact: It has been confirmed that Clowney did not test positive for COVID but that he will still miss today’s practice. He is expected to play this weekend against the Chiefs if he can shake the bug and avoid a positive test. Clowney is set to form one of the most feared defensive end duos in the league alongside Myles Garrett and will be key to the Browns hopes of walking away with a victory. Clowney has been more of a run stopper than a sack artist in his last couple of stops around the league but could find the path to the quarterback to be an easier one with Garrett commanding double teams. He is more of a DL2/3 type for IDP purposes but could creep back into the DL1 conversation if he can provide consistency in the tackle and/or sack departments.
