CLEMSON - Fourth-year cornerback Sheridan Jones, resembling the rest of the Clemson defense so far, has struggled with injury this year. Jones and a number of other defensive teammates are back now, however, but it took some time for Jones to return.

“(I) just had to be smart, take it day by day before I came back,” Jones said. “Playing the sport of football, you’re never 100% physically.”

He has dealt with a few stingers this season, which is what took him out of the Louisiana Tech game in Week 3 and then held him out the next three games.
