Clemson heads to Notre Dame shorthanded on defense
For a second week in a row, top-ranked Clemson will be without three of its top players on defense.
The Tigers are already without linebacker James Skalski, who is out with a groin injury, and after practice on Wednesday, head coach Dabo Swinney announced Clemson will not have defensive tackle Tyler Davis or linebacker Mike Jones when they travel to South Bend on Saturday to play No. 4 Notre Dame.
Davis has been battling a lower leg injury, which he suffered the Wednesday prior to the Syracuse game on Oct. 24. Jones has a hamstring injury that is not completely healed. He suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of the Syracuse game when he tweaked his hamstring.
