The Houston Texans lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 31-21 this past weekend and they did so without the help of No.1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney.
According to NFL.com, the Texans want the No. 1 overall pick to show more toughness and play through injuries. The report goes on to say that the Texans want Clowney to be more mature and to handle himself better on and off the field.

“What they want is for him to start showing some maturity and learn to play through some of these ailments. As a source mentioned to me, this is really the first time Clowney has faced any sort of injury adversity—didn't really happen in college—and they want him to try to play through it in the NFL, but they're frustrated with their No. 1 overall pick.”
Soon after this report, Clowney apparently was in Instagram during the Texans loss and even liked a woman’s picture. Nick Wright of Sports Radio 610 in Houston took a screenshot of the interaction and it indicates that Clowney liked the picture while on the sideline with an injury.

The No. 1 overall pick has registered two tackles all season and has been a non-factor on the Texans defense to this point. Coach Bill O’Brien has said that Whitney Mercilus will continue to play even when Clowney returns as he has earned the spot.
