Houston Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney recorded his first career sack in Sunday’s game against the Dolphins.

The sack occurred in the second quarter, as Clowney chased down Dolphins’ quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

Clowney played only four games his rookie year after undergoing season-ending microfracture surgery on his right knee. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft has played in five games for Houston so far this season, recording 12 tackles. 

The linebacker missed the Texans’ Week 6 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with an ankle injury.

The Dolphins lead the Texans 41–13 in the third quarter.
