Bleacher Reports' Under the Knife reports on Houston Texans' linebacker Jadeveon Clowney's recovery after undergoing an arthroscopic knee procedure. According to the article, Clowney's recovery continued following the originally projected 4 - 6 week recovery time.

Medial operations, on the other hand, required just five weeks."
