ANALYSIS
The injury is a massive development for Clemson, as Ross was entering his junior year with the opportunity to establish himself as the team's new No.1 receiver. An earlier report suggested that Ross would require surgery in early June to address a stinger suffered in spring practice, but follow-up exams with team doctors apparently revealed a more significant spinal condition that could put his football future in jeopardy. Per Raynor, there's hope that Ross will be able to resume his career after rehabbing from surgery, which he's slated to undergo Friday. Ross' absence for at least 2020 should open up more looks in the Clemson passing game for the likes of Amari Rodgers, Joe Ngata, Frank Ladson and Braden Galloway.
