Will Shipley’s injury report is encouraging
Dabo Swinney revealed last night that the X-rays of Will Shipley showed no major problems, and the running back is officially in concussion protocol.
"“Injury-wise. Shipley was the main guy and we got good news on him. Everything checked out. He’s in the concussion protocol. He was doing good today. The bigger concern was they were worried about his neck scans, but all that came back normal. So that was a real positive from his injury standpoint. But he is in the concussion protocol. We’ll just have to see — there is a protocol to that stuff, so I don’t know how that is going to go, where he is, and how they (handle) all that stuff. Just happy that everything checked out well with his neck.”"
This means he most likely won’t be available against Notre Dame, but the prognosis is much better than it might have been.
Clemson Football alums have a day in the NFL
The Tennessee Titans wore their Houston Oiler throwback unis Sunday, and it apparently inspired DeAndre Hopkins.
Nuk had four receptions for three touchdowns and 128 yards as the Titans defeated the Falcons 28-23.
The Jacksonville Jaguars went on the road to Pittsburgh, and it was mostly a field goal fiesta, but Trevor Lawrence unleashed this strike to Travis Etienne for a touchdown.
The Jaguars won 20-10 over the Steelers and have a strong lead in the AFC South division and are tied for the best record in the conference.
