Clowney (shoulder) isn't among Carolina's inactives for Sunday's Week 8 battle against Denver, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Clowney will return from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury he suffered Week 5 versus Chicago. The veteran edge rusher practiced in full all week, so his ability to suit up isn't surprising despite the fact that he came into Sunday with a questionable tag. Clowney has recorded 12 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, through five contests on the campaign.

Panthers' Jadeveon Clowney: Gets over illness
Rotowire
Clowney (illness) wasn't on the Panthers' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 game against the Saints.
Clowney missed practice earlier in the week due to an illness, but he appears to have recorvered in time for Carolina's Week 1 contest. The 2014 first-overall pick inked a two-year, $20 million deal with the Panthers this past offseason after recording 9.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games with the Ravens in 2023. He's expected to start as the Panthers' top edge rusher heading into 2024.
Clowney agreed to terms Wednesday with the Panthers on a two-year, $20 million deal, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Per Rapoport, Clowney's deal has a maximum value of $24 million. While spending the 2023 season with the Ravens, Clowney finished with 43 tackles and 9.5 sacks over 17 games. By adding the top pick in the 2014 NFL Draft to the defensive mix, the Panthers will bolster a pass-rushing unit that's looking to make up for the recent trade of Brian Burns to the Giants.

Ravens' Jadeveon Clowney: Enjoys resurgence in Baltimore
Rotowire
Clowney finished the regular season with 9.5 sacks over 17 games and recorded 32 total tackles.
The veteran signed with the Ravens late in training camp and turned in one of the best seasons of his career. With Odafe Oweh still coming into his own and David Ojabo working his way back to pre-injury form, Baltimore desperately needed edge help and Clowney delivered. Clowney and fellow veteran Kyle Van Noy combined for 18.5 sacks as Baltimore went on to lead the NFL in sacks (60). Baltimore signed Clowney to a one-year deal, so he will be a free agent this offseason, though he could certainly be in the mix for a return to the Ravens on another short-term deal.

Ravens' Jadeveon Clowney: Comes up big in revenge game
Rotowire
Clowney recorded six tackles (two solo) including two sacks in Sunday's 33-31 loss versus the Browns.
Clowney made a big impact against his former team in Week 10, racking up multiple sacks in a single game for the second time this year. He's on pace for one of the most productive seasons of his career at age 30, and he should get plenty of opportunities to rush the passer versus the high-flying Bengals in Week 11.

Ravens' Jadeveon Clowney: Headed to Baltimore
Rotowire
Clowney is slated to sign with the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Clowney, who was released by the Browns this offseason, should complement Odafe Oweh and David Ojabo off the edge, while contributing to Baltimore's defense as a situational pass-rushing option. During the 2022 season, Clowney recorded 28 tackles and two sacks in 12 games with Cleveland.

Browns' Jadeveon Clowney: Won't play Week 18
Rotowire
Clowney (coach's decision) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
The Browns' decision to hold Clowney out for the season finale comes as little surprise after he was sent home from practice Friday following his comments suggesting that he was already planning on leaving Cleveland in free agency this offseason. Alex Wright is expected to start at defensive end in place of Clowney, who finishes his lone season in Cleveland with 28 tackles, two sacks and one forced fumble in 12 appearances.

Browns' Jadeveon Clowney: Status for Sunday in question
Rotowire

Per Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram, head coach Kevin Stefanski has come to a decision on whether Clowney will play in Sunday's season finale against the Steelers, but Stefanski isn't ready to share that decision yet.

Clowney (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
