Jerry Jones Reveals Key Update on Star Pass Rusher Jadeveon Clowney Ahead of Crucial Lions Game
The Dallas Cowboys are riding high after a series of impressive victories, and their momentum is set to continue as they face off against the Detroit Lions in Week 14. However, there's been one major concern hanging over the team - the availability of star pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury.
In a recent press conference, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones offered a major update on Clowney's status, revealing that he's likely to be available for Thursday night's game against the Lions. According to Jones, Clowney is expected to "really not have any short weeks" and will be given ample time to warm up before taking the field.
Jones expressed his faith in Clowney, praising him for maintaining an exceptional level of performance since joining the Cowboys. The pass rusher has been instrumental in filling the void left by Micah Parsons' trade, recording 27 total tackles and four sacks in just nine games with Dallas.
While Jones stopped short of guaranteeing that Clowney will play, his confidence in the star's abilities suggests that the Cowboys are optimistic about their chances against the Lions. The game is undoubtedly their toughest remaining test on the schedule, but a win could propel them into the NFC playoff picture.
With Thursday Night Football set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET, fans will be eagerly awaiting any developments in Clowney's status and the Cowboys' overall prospects.

! The Cowboys need him back ASAP and Jerry Jones is being super confident in his abilities, which is music to my ears 
. I mean, the guy's been on fire since joining the team and Micah Parsons' trade was a huge blow, but Clowney's come through for them so far. If he can get back out there and keep terrorizing QBs like he has been, the Cowboys are definitely gonna be tough to beat 
. I'm loving the optimism around this game, especially with the Lions being their toughest test left on the schedule 
. Bring it on Thursday Night Football!

Clowney's been dealing with that hamstring injury for ages and now they're saying he's good to go? We'll see about that 
I mean, Jerry Jones is hyping him up a lot, but let's not get our hopes too high just yet 
The Lions are gonna give them a run for their money, no doubt about it 
. One minute Clowney's fine, the next he's out with a hamstring injury and we're hearing about it weeks later... what's up with that? And now Jerry Jones is saying he'll be back in time for the Lions game? That's a pretty big ask considering all the ups and downs this season has had. I'm not convinced they can count on him to save the day. It's always tough to win on short rest, especially against a good team like Detroit 
but I need to see more than just his owner's word on it... where's the actual update from Clowney or the medical team? what are they doing to prevent another setback? 
also 27 total tackles and four sacks in nine games is impressive, but Micah Parsons was injured too, so let's not forget that

: "He'll really not have any short weeks"... yeah, sure, Mr. Jones!

since joining the Cowboys, but let's not get ahead of ourselves...

it would be amazing if they can take down the Lions on Thursday night, a win could really put them in the mix for playoffs... fingers crossed! 
. on the other hand, clonkeys skills are crazy & a win against lions could be huge for cowboys so fingers crossed 
if Clowney is back on the field, they're basically unstoppable 
their defense has been looking pretty solid lately, but they need that pass rush to really shut down the Lions' offense 
Jones saying he's got faith in Clowney is super reassuring 
️ the Lions are gonna have their work cut out for them on Thursday 
. Jones is right, he's been solid since joining the Cowboys 
, and it's awesome to see Micah Parsons' trade paying off like this.
Still, I guess it's good that he's been performing well despite the injury. 27 tackles and 4 sacks in 9 games is no joke 
Still hoping they make it to the playoffs though!
. i'm not gonna lie, i'm really hyped to see how he'll perform against the lions 
I'm loving the confidence from Jerry Jones about Jadeveon Clowney returning to the field ASAP 
. 27 total tackles and 4 sacks in just 9 games? That's insane!

! Like, dude, if you're not 100% sure then don't give us that "he's gonna be fine" vibe 
. And what's with the "ample time to warm up" comment? Is he trying to downplay the injury or something? 
. Lions better bring their A-game because clowney's gonna be all over them 
. He's been saying players like Tony Romo are going to come out of retirement for years now
