When he walked off the field at Bobby Stadium following an unexplainable injury to his knee, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson thought he would simply go in, get checked out and then be back on the field.
In his mind, his knee was fine.
“I did not think I did anything serious when I walked off the field. I thought I was going to be able to go back out there and play,” the junior said on Monday as the third-ranked Tigers get set to return to the scene in which Watson tore his ACL on Thursday.
But once Clemson team trainer Danny Poole and the people at Georgia Tech looked at the results, they told Watson he was not going back in.
