Clemson coach Dabo Swinney updated the health status of one of his freshman running backs Sunday, a day after injuries mounted for the Tigers in their double-overtime loss at North Carolina State.
Shipley was rolled up on at the end of D.J. Uiagalelei’s second-down run inside N.C. State’s 10-yard line in the first overtime. He never returned.
Shipley, who scored on a 5-yard run late in the fourth quarter to help Clemson force overtime, rushed for 36 yards on 11 carries before the injury. He leads the Tigers in rushing yards (211) and rushing touchdowns (5).
Shipley said Sunday that Shipley did not tear his ACL and should be back in a few weeks.
