The Facts: The Texans announced Monday that Clowney has been placed on the active/physically unable to perform list.

Diehards Line:This is a procedural move that will enable the team to keep Clowney on the PUP list for the first six weeks of the regular season if his knee doesn't cooperate. Clowney underwent microfracture surgery last year. Clowney can be activated at any point during training camp. Barring a setback, NFL.com expects to see him on the practice field before the end of August.
