    Texans rookie linebacker Jadeveon Clowney said he hopes to return in a few weeks from the knee injury that has sidelined him since the season opener.

    Clowney, who spoke Tuesday after an event at a middle school in Houston, said that he had begun the running portion of his rehabilitation and that it's going well.

    "Rehab's coming along good," Clowney said. "I'm getting healthy. My leg's feeling a lot better -- just taking it one day at a time."

    Clowney, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, suffered a torn meniscus in the Texans' season-opening victory against Washington and was expected to miss four to six weeks.

    "It's very hard (to be patient)," he said Tuesday, speaking for the first time since suffering the injury. "I keep telling guys 'I think I'm ready, I think I'm ready.' They're like man, you just got injured. They're just like, 'Take it one day at a time ... you have a long career ahead of you also. Don't rush to come back one time and get hurt again.'
