The adrenaline will be running wild through the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday when they wrap up the season against the Cleveland Browns with a chance to make the playoffs. Fortunately, for them anyway, the Steelers won't have to face a certain Browns' defender.
Nine-year veteran, Jadeveon Clowney, has been ruled out against the Steelers.
This is something that has been brewing for a while. When the Browns beat the Baltimore Ravens last month, Clowney criticized how he was used. Also, Clowney said earlier this week that he was 95% sure that he wouldn't be back with the Browns next season after being sent home.
It's been a rough year for Clowney. After nine sacks and being named a Pro Bowl alternate in his first season with the Browns in 2021, Clowney has only logged two this season while also missing four games.
That's not the Steelers' problem to worry about, though. Their focus is making the playoffs, and if a division opponent is wounded in the process, so be it.
