SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant had to be helped off the field and will not return to the game after a tackle near the end of the first half against Syracuse.

Speaking at halftime, Tigers coach Dabo Swinney told ESPN that Bryant suffered a concussion.

He was slammed to the turf by 6-foot-4, 315-pound Syracuse lineman Chris Slayton. Bryant was attended to be athletic trainers before he got on his feet and slowly walked off the turf, with assistance from others.

Bryant missed most of the second half of last week's game against Wake Forest after suffering an ankle injury.
