Clowney (illness/knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Clowney was sidelined for the Panthers' first official practice of the week Wednesday due to a knee injury and illness. He appears to be progressing on both fronts, as reflected by his return to practice Thursday (albeit in a limited capacity). Unless he suffers a setback and misses Friday's practice, Clowney should be able to suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday. The 2014 first overall pick has logged 36 tackles (21 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and three pass defenses across 11 regular-season games.
