Clemson Tigers believes Trevor Lawrence hurts neck injury

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence may be back in training on Monday, according to co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott.

Lawrence was hit near the head during a run at the end of the second quarter against Syracuse and missed the rest of the match in the protocol concussion protocol, but head coach Dabo Swinney has said the quarterback was alert and active on the sidelines.

Scott resumed these remarks Monday, claiming that Clemson's medical staff was encouraged by Lawrence's reaction to the injury and that he thought it could have been more of a cervical fatigue than a head injury.

"The medical staff sees a lot of positive signs and everything is going in the right direction," Scott said. "There is a chance that he can practice [Monday]. They will let him get up and review their protocol. But they were very optimistic, and they discovered that it was rather a neck fatigue, with the way it was hit, so that's good news. But no final decision has been taken on this subject. "

Chase Brice was relieved by Lawrence and led a dazzling comeback in the second half, including converting a critical play into fourth and sixth place. The No. 4 Tigers scored 41 seconds from time to secure a 27-23 victory.

Brice is likely to train the first team's representatives in training on Monday, while rookie Ben Batson and receiver Hunter Renfrow will split the second team's representatives, Scott said.

"We are preparing four quarterbacks for play, we were preparing Chase last week to give him more reps … Now it's about putting Batson and Renfrow in a position to at least handle the game. and to do some offensive things. "

There is no indication that Kelly Bryant, who started the first four games of the season for Clemson before announcing her transfer after her demotion, will return, however.

Brice said he had received a text message from Bryant after the match, congratulating him on his victory. He then met Bryant on campus, but the two did not discuss the veteran's return project.

Swinney declined to discuss any potential return for Bryant after Saturday's game, saying he would not talk about players who were no longer on the list.
