Clemson’s Bryant Wesco Jr. Hospitalized With ‘Serious’ Neck Injury After Punt-Return Fall

Dabo Swinney said medical updates will follow further evaluation by doctors.

Overview

  • Wesco was flipped by a low hit on a third-quarter punt return and landed on his neck during Clemson’s 35-24 loss to SMU.
  • He got up and went to the sideline under his own power, was examined by trainers, did not return, and was later taken to a hospital.
  • Swinney called the injury serious and asked for prayers, adding he had no additional information immediately after the game.
  • Wesco had been handling return duties with Antonio Williams Jr. easing back from a hamstring issue and did not record a catch in the game.
  • The receiver entered the day with 31 receptions for 537 yards and six touchdowns this season, heightening concern as the team awaits a prognosis.
