Syracuse Orange football defensive tackle Steven Clark’s career is in jeopardy after it was discovered the sophomore is suffering from blood clots and a genetic disorder, he revealed to Syracuse.com reporter Stephen Bailey on Thursday.
Doctors made the diagnosis after evaluating Clark during his rehabilitation process from a sprained MCL and slight meniscus tear. Clark suffered the injury during practice on Nov. 8 after a fellow Syracuse player came down on the outside of Clark's knee.
Clark is currently taking blood thinners to combat the blood clots and hopes his last remaining blood clot, located in his calf, will dissolve by his next Doppler ultrasound test in mid-May, Bailey reports.
