On top of that, Clark has well-documented, off-field problems to worry about: he was recently charged for the second of his two gun-related incidents this offseason. He returned for Week 2 but injured his other hamstring in the following week of practice.
He injured his hamstring two weeks into training camp, forcing him to miss all of the preseason and the season-opener.
