Clemson football faces multiple injury setbacks

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney reported several key injuries following the Tigers' 18-13 victory over Syracuse. Cornerback Donovan Starr is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season due to an ankle injury, though Swinney noted a potential return for the postseason. Starr had been playing the nickel position following a season-ending injury to Corian Gipson.

Starting center Harris Sewell remains sidelined after undergoing tightrope surgery for an ankle injury. Swinney indicated that Sewell will miss the upcoming game against Georgia Tech, with a possible return as early as November 20 or November 28. Freshman Grant Wise has been filling the role in Sewell's absence.

Additionally, starting quarterback Tait Reynolds sustained a non-throwing arm injury during the Syracuse game. Swinney clarified that Reynolds was merely “banged up” and was able to finish the game, completing 17 of 28 passes for 161 yards and rushing for 61 yards.
