Report: Titans' Clowney done for season after knee surgery

Tennessee Titans pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney is not expected to return this season after undergoing surgery on his left meniscus earlier this week, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The Titans placed Clowney on injured reserve on Nov. 21 and were initially hopeful he could return for a potential playoff run, Rapoport notes. The surgery has reportedly ruled out that possibility.

Clowney joined Tennessee late in the offseason on a one-year deal and was expected to bolster the team's pass rush. The 27-year-old didn't meet expectations, though, failing to notch a sack in eight contests.

Tennessee is paying Clowney $13 million for the 2020 campaign and hasn't ruled out bringing him back for 2021, Rapoport adds.

A seven-year pro, Clowney has recorded 32 career sacks but has managed just three over his last two seasons.
