Clemson running back Will Shipley will not be playing in the upcoming game against Notre Dame. Shipley suffered a concussion in the previous game against NC State and has been in concussion protocol all week. Despite being listed as "day-to-day" earlier, it has been decided that Shipley will not be cleared to play. Shipley, who leads the Tigers in rushing yards this season, will be a significant absence for Clemson's offense. In his absence, junior Phil Mafah will likely see an increased workload at running back. Clemson will also be missing other key players for the Notre Dame game, including offensive lineman Marcus Tate and defensive starters Jalyn Phillips and Sheridan Jones. The Tigers are preparing for a tough matchup against a highly-ranked Notre Dame team, and the loss of Shipley and other starters will pose a challenge for them.
