At least being beat to hell isn’t a barrier this year.![]()
Syracuse starters set to return from injury against Clemson
Fran Brown provided injury updates for the Orange Thursday night, including the return of three starters.www.syracuse.com
Brown announced that running back Yasin Willis, safety Devin Grant and left tackle Trevion Mack (foot) are expected to play Saturday. While he noted Grant still has a bit of a limp, Brown believes the senior will be ready for Saturday’s noon kickoff.
“Everybody is back,” Brown said. “Everybody was healthy. They looked good in practice.
“Everybody” would include wide receiver Justus Ross-Simmons (finger) and right tackle Da’Metrius Weatherspoon, who left the Colgate game early with a limp. He also said that wide receiver Emanuel Ross, who has yet to play this season, may play against Clemson.
Brown did say he expects backup right tackle Kam Pringle to play Saturday.
Cornell Perry had been filling in for Grant while Naquil Betrand and Joshua Miller relieved Mack. Perry currently has a Pro Football Focus grade of 72.4, which ranks second among Syracuse defenders with at least 100 snaps played.
The Orange is likely to rest sophomore wide receiver Tyshawn Russell due to an undisclosed injury, Brown said.
Brown also said that true freshman wide receiver Darius Johnson, who fractured his fibula in training camp, is set to make his season debut against Duke.
He also said that freshman wide receiver Darien Williams, who caught the first touchdown of his career against Colgate, will play against Clemson.
Definitely seems like we will be playing several guys that may not be 100%. I’m sure Clemson has guys too that are playing and not 100% that are not on this list.
