Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said he was “day to day” this week after twisting his ankle against Florida State.
Brown, who suffered a high ankle sprain vs. Appalachian State in Week 2, will miss his second consecutive game too. Swinney said he was “week to week” leading up to Saturday after having a setback during his recovery. Defensive tackle Vic Burley will also miss his first game of the season
Wesco has recorded 11 catches for 262 yards and two touchdowns over five games. Brown has logged five catches for 30 yards across four games this season. Burley has made three tackles in six games in 2024.
