I’m sorry to hear this. I remember last year when we had so many injuries, it’s not good. I hope for a speedy recovery.

Wow, that could be huge for them. Washington out a number of weeks and who knows what’s happening with Gilbert.

When it's being reported within a few weeks of the game that "he is currently not with the team", seems like a good bet he won't be with the team by the game. Like you say, who knows. But it's not like he's in the equivalent of Dabo's Love Shack. He's literally a non-participant from the sounds of it.

I really feel for ANY PLAYER IN COLLEGE who sustains injuries. I suffered many playing Quarterback in my day. It really is depressing to not be able to compete with your brothers on your team!! I hope our players are able to get thru until GameDay without sidelineing any of our Clemson players .
LETS GET IT TIGERS

I agree 100%, but after losing their main TE threat, if he suddenly became available, I would imagine they would rush him into action if possible. They might not, but I’d much rather hedge my bet with “who knows”

How much time has even spent with their playbook, though?
