What happened: The Houston Texans are resisting trade interest in veteran pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney ahead of Tuesday's deadline, per NFL Network. Houston is delaying any roster decisions until after Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The front office will evaluate its positioning before considering offers for veteran players.

Why it matters: At 2-5, Houston remains in contention within the AFC South after securing an earlier win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. A victory over the Chargers keeps the Texans in pursuit of the division crown ahead of a Week 15 rematch, while a loss would increase pressure to sell. Clowney rejoined the franchise in August to pursue a playoff run.

What to watch: The Texans face the Chargers on Sunday afternoon, with the NFL trade deadline set for Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.
