Whatever the spat is between the Cleveland Browns and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, it is benefiting the Pittsburgh Steelers. On Saturday, the Browns announced that Clowney has been downgraded to out for Sunday’s game against the Steelers.
Clowney was sent home from practice on Friday, which was the ending to a tumultuous week. Clowney refused to play on first and second down last week against the Baltimore Ravens. Later in the week, Clowney said he is 95 percent sure he wouldn’t be back next season, and he threw teammate Myles Garrett under the bus for being the focus of the team.
The Steelers and their fans are no strangers to player drama. Everyone who lived through the Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown era understands how much players like Clowney can frustrate and entertain the fan base. Will this have any impact on the game on Sunday? It is hard to say, but with so much on the line for the Steelers, they will take any advantage they can get.
