The latest on Trevor Lawrence
While Trevor Lawrence is said to be doing great following his positive COVID-19 test last week, protocols demand he go through a series of additional tests including cardiovascular tests. Unfortunately, this means he’s going to miss the Notre Dame game. Lawrence will be back with the team, assuming everything checks out, next week as the Tigers prepare for FSU.
Because of COVID-19 protocol, Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence won't play at #GoIrish. But he will be there as a 'coach,' Dabo Swinney says. https://t.co/gold9jVxEz
