Clemson Football: 5 Tigers who’ll benefit most from early bye week

3. Lyn-J Dixon

Lyn-J Dixon suffered an injury and was held out of the game against Wake Forest. While the Tigers played him sparingly against The Citadel, the expected second-string running back only rushed three times for 10 yards (3.3 yards per carry).

Dixon is still being brought back slowly and that’s why the bye week came at a perfect point for him.

He’ll be able to (hopefully) return to 100 percent from a health standpoint and, in turn, show that explosiveness and athleticism that we had come to know from him as a backup to Travis Etienne.
