Jadeveon Clowney was sent home from practice by the Cleveland Browns on Friday after he made some critical comments about the franchise. Now, Clowney is attempting to clean up the public relations mess he made, as he released a statement through his agent, per Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.
In the statement, Clowney's agent said the following, “It's been an emotional and frustrating season given initial expectations. Those sentiments were expressed in a locker room. In today's NFL, an open locker rom means media is present. J.D. always show up, plays hard, and gives his best. It would be unfortunate for him not to be able to finish the season on the field, doing what he loves, with his teammates.”
Jadeveon Clowney made headlines when he said that he was “95 percent sure” he would not be back in a Browns uniform next season.

The free-agent-to-be is playing out the remainder of one-year contract he agreed to with Cleveland last offseason.
