Swinney: Clemson QB Lawrence will play at Wake Forest

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Clemson coach Dabo Swinney says injured quarterback Trevor Lawrence will play against Wake Forest.

Lawrence missed the second half of fourth-ranked Clemson's 27-23 win over Syracuse last week after taking a hard hit right before halftime.

At first Swinney said Lawrence had concussion-like symptoms. On Monday, coaches said Lawrence's injury was more of a neck strain.

Lawrence took part in all of Clemson's practice Monday. Swinney says the 6-foot-6 freshman looks and feels great and that is a ''big blessing'' for the Tigers (5-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Swinney also said Clemson receiver Hunter Renfrow is splitting time at quarterback and could come in third if something happens to Lawrence and backup Chase Brice.
