Houston Texans outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney has not been cleared to even practice, but coach Bill O’Brien is hopeful last year’s No. 1 overall pick will be ready to play in Week 1.

Clowney landed on injured reserve after undergoing microfracture surgery on his right knee Dec. 8. He has spent the offseason rehabbing and taking part in some weight room activities

“I think he’s gonna be there for the opening game (of the regular season) against Kansas City,” O’Brien told NFL.com. “I think he’s going to make it back, and I’m really looking forward to that. He’s working very hard to get back.”

Clowney also had surgery after he sustained a torn lateral meniscus and articular cartilage damage in the Texans’ opener last season.

Clowney was limited to just four games in 2014, making five tackles.
