Breaking: Swinney confirms the news: Justyn Ross cleared to play this season

CLEMSON – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney confirmed Friday that wide receiver Justyn Ross has been medically cleared to return to full football activities and will play this season.

Ross missed all of 2020 after a congenital fusion issue was found in his neck. He had surgery last year to correct the condition but had been practicing in a limited fashion with the team since last fall. Ross will be limited no more.

"Justyn Ross has been cleared to play football. It’s been unbelievable watching his journey," Swinney said. "I am thankful for the support he had and he put in the work.
