Clemson football will be without its starting middle-linebacker for extended amount of time

There was hope that Clemson football would get starting MIKE linebacker James Skalski back this week, but that won’t be the case.

Skalski- who suffered a groin injury- was sidelined during the Syracuse game this past week and there was optimism that he would be back at 100 percent and ready to go by the Boston College game this weekend, but Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney said that the Tigers will be without Skalski for ‘a few games’ moving forward.
