J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus, the two dominant Houston pass rushers, are out for the season. This puts Jadeveon Clowney as the focal point of the Texans pass rush, and the player that the Colts’ offensive line must block.
Clowney, the former first overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, has had an injury-plagued career thus far. This season, however, the outside linebacker has started every game for Houston. If Anthony Costanzo, who is listed as questionable with a knee injury, is unable to go on Sunday, Jeremy Vujnovich or Joe Haeg would slide into his spot.
