Clemson will be without one of its top offensive players in 2020.
During a call with reporters on Monday, Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney announced that wide receiver Justyn Ross — one of the most talented at his position in the entire country — will be out for the season. Swinney said that doctors are “very concerned” about Ross, and there’s a chance Ross may never play again.
Swinney explained that Ross will undergo surgery on Friday to address a “congenital fusion” in his neck and spine. Back in March, Swinney said Ross was experiencing symptoms of a stinger, but testing later revealed a more serious condition — one Ross was born with but unaware of, Swinney said.
