Clemson suffered a major blow at quarterback during Saturday’s Orange & White Game at Death Valley.
In the game’s final minutes, backup quarterback Taisun Phommachanh possibly tore his achilles heel while leading the White team on a game-winning drive in the White’s 14-13 victory.
Phommachanh could miss up to six months if indeed he did tear his achilles as head coach Dabo Swinney fears. If that is the case, the ramifications for the Tigers at quarterback can be huge, especially if starting quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei were to suffer an injury that could keep him out for any length of time.
