Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott will miss the College Football Playoff semifinal game against the Ohio State on Friday because of COVID-19 protocols.
Elliott, the Tigers' offensive play-caller for the past six seasons, will not travel to New Orleans for the Allstate Sugar Bowl, it was announced Wednesday.
Clemson did not confirm if the 41-year-old Elliott had tested positive for COVID-19, only saying he would remain in protocols.
Coach Dabo Swinney is expected to address who will handle Clemson's offensive play-calling against Ohio State at a news conference Thursday morning.
A former wide receiver at Clemson, Elliott joined Swinney's staff in 2011.
