Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was kicked out of practice Friday morning after publicly criticizing the organization in an interview a day earlier and will likely be sidelined for the final game of the season regular on Sunday, according to multiple reports.
Clowney, a three-time Pro Bowler, spoke harshly about his situation with Browns in an interview with Cleveland.com on Thursday, adding that after only his second season with the team, he is unlikely to return.

“Ninety-five percent sure I’m not coming back,” Clowney told the outlet. “But there’s always that five percent. You never know what can happen.”

“I just feel like I need to be around someone who believes in me and my abilities,” he continued. “(It can’t) be fair that I believe in myself. I believe in myself more than anyone.”
Among the issues Clowney raised was the alleged preferential treatment he says the organization gives to star defensive end Myles Garrett, adding that he has no issue specifically with Garrett.

“You’re all trying to get somebody into the Hall of Fame when all that matters is winning,” he said in the interview. “Everyone came here for a reason, and we can all make plays. I know I am.”
Clowney, who turns 30 next month, has been out for several games this season with injury and a concussion. He’s recorded just two sacks in 12 games this season, compared to his career-high 9.5 sacks in 2017 when he played for the Houston Texans.
