Swinney does not exactly close the door on Ross’ return

BLACKSBURG, Va. — During Clemson’s 45-10 victory over Virginia Tech, Chris Fowler, who was calling Saturday night’s game for ABC, spoke about the possibility of Clemson wide receiver Justyn Ross being back for the ACC Championship Game on Dec. 19.

Fowler even mentioned there are 11 days from Ross’ doctor visit to the ACC Championship in Charlotte. Ross, who has been out since having spinal surgery in June, is scheduled to meet with his neurosurgeon, Dr. David Okonkwo, in Pittsburgh this week to discuss his football future.

When asked about Fowler’s comments in his post-game press conference, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney tried to laugh it off.
