Cowboys Weigh Jadeveon Clowney’s Week 3 Debut After Reported Arrest

Team officials say the case will not dictate his usage.

Overview

  • Police records show Clowney was arrested Sept. 12 in Rock Hill, S.C., on misdemeanor trespassing and failure-to-identify charges stemming from a parking dispute at an apartment complex during a nearby football game.
  • The incident report describes him as argumentative and refusing to show ID before being taken into custody, while Clowney calls it a misunderstanding and says he will contest the charges.
  • Dallas signed the three-time Pro Bowler on Sept. 14 to a one-year deal worth about $3.5 million, and he practiced this week despite having skipped offseason work and the preseason.
  • Availability for Sunday remains uncertain as Jerry Jones says he expects Clowney to play, Brian Schottenheimer urges caution, and Stephen Jones characterizes it as a game-time decision leaning toward not playing.
  • A team spokesman says the arrest will not factor into playing decisions, and Jerry Jones signals openness to further defensive moves using extra draft capital from the Micah Parsons trade.
