The Dallas Cowboys are anticipating the debut of their recently signed defensive asset, Jadeveon Clowney, in their upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Clowney, who joined the team last week, did not participate in the Cowboys’ recent 31-14 defeat to the Chicago Bears, but team owner Jerry Jones confidently stated on 105.3 The Fan that Clowney is expected to take the field on Sunday night.
Despite recent misdemeanor charges of trespassing and failure to identify, Jones expressed no concerns about Clowney’s legal issues affecting his participation. “I’m very familiar with the details of the matter. It’s not serious in any way. It’s not an influence here at all,” Jones remarked, emphasizing the significant contribution Clowney is anticipated to make. “I do expect him to give us the benefit of the things that he does the best, which is — guess what? You spell it with a P. It’s called pressure.”
The Cowboys’ defense is looking to benefit substantially from Clowney’s arrival, particularly in light of Micah Parsons’ departure to the Packers. Executive vice president Stephen Jones echoed these sentiments, assuring that Clowney’s presence would bolster the defense. “Yes, we fully expect him to be able to come in and help,” he stated, emphasizing the team’s resolve to address current defensive shortcomings.
In the first three games of the season, Dallas’ defense has struggled, allowing the third-most yards across the league while managing only four sacks. Clowney, a three-time Pro Bowler with a total of 58 career sacks, sees his role as crucial to the team’s success. Reflecting on his move to Dallas, Clowney expressed confidence in his ability to enhance the defense, noting the strong secondary and defensive tackles already present within the team.
Cowboys fans can look forward to Clowney taking the field against Parsons and the Green Bay Packers this Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. This eagerly awaited clash will reveal how Clowney’s defensive prowess can help turn the tide for the Cowboys.
