Jadeveon Clowney, who is outside linebacker for The Texans is having a great deal of pain and swelling in his surgically repaired knee, but only when he plays. He has not been to practice yet this week, and says that he will test the knee before a game, but believes his chances for playing are slim.
Clowney said, "A lot of pain right now, just been bothering me off and on the whole season, something I've got to push through, but when the swelling comes up, it's a little setback."
He reached out to inside linebacker Brian Cushing, who has also had major surgery on the same knee. Clowney said, "I told him before the game my knee was bothering me during the week, he was like, 'Come out here and do the warm-up I do.'"
He decided that he was going to play one way or another, so he copied Cushing’s warm-up in order to help him loosen up. He tore his meniscus in the first game of the season and had surgery the next day, was out for six games, played one and then missed another because of a combination of flu-like symptoms and the knee injury.
"I'm kind of surprised; I thought it would have been over," he said. "I thought it'd be back to where it was by now. Some people react differently to injuries. ... Right now I just think it's letting it heal. You push it, push it, then it swells. You've got to let it go back down again. Right now just letting it heal and try to get it back to where it was before I got hurt.

Calvin Johnson, a wide receiver for the Detroit Lions, breaks another record on Thanksgiving Day in the game against the Chicago Bears. With his 115th career receive he passed ten-thousand yards. The record was previously set by Torry Holt who hit the record of ten-thousand yards in 116 games.
Johnson said, "That's big, especially for a receiver, to be able to do it, in the fashion that we were able to do it and with the help I have from the rest of my teammates, we all share and take part in that.”
He had eleven catches, made two touchdowns and ran 146 yards during the first half of the game to bring his total up to ten-thousand and fifty-two yards. He also passed Eric Moulds in all time receiving yards and is rapidly approaching Shannon Sharp’s all time record of ten-thousand sixty yards.
