CLEMSON, SC – Clemson offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said on Monday that Trevor Lawrence's injury was "more a nape" than a concussion and the rookie quarterback could resume training on Monday night.
"He was trying to get back into the game," Swinney said Sunday night. "But every time you get something with your head, neck area, there is no room for error there."
Lawrence was designated as starter at the quarterback on Monday morning when Clemson released his depth chart for Saturday's game at Wake Forest.

"He was really good after the game and really good this Sunday morning," said Swinney. "I think they've been very encouraged by what they've seen. He will work and they will continue to reevaluate him. I hope that they will put it into practice this week. "
Rookie Chase Brice of Redshirt replaced Lawrence and helped guide the Tigers to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns that wiped out a 23-13 deficit and pushed the Tigers to 4th overall at 5-0 and 2- 0 at the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Lawrence, who was making his career debut, left the game after completing 10 of 15 passes for 93 yards.
Despite Clemson's victory over Syracuse, the Tigers lost two places in fourth place in the Amway Coaches poll.
