Looks like neck injury not concussion, but he will play Saturday.
Please ECU et al, tell us how fabulous his hair is and how Clemson sucks. Blah blah blah. Look forward to reading, er ignoring, your crap.

Clemson starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who left Saturday's game against Syracuse after a hard second-quarter hit near his head and didn't return, is expected to play Saturday against Wake Forest.
Lawrence was a full participant in practice Monday, and coach Dabo Swinney told reporters Tuesday: "I definitely expect to see him play. That's why we put him back in practice (Monday) night. I don't see any reason why he wouldn't."
Although Lawrence — named the starter only days before — was in the concussion protocol in the second half against Syracuse, by Monday the Clemson medical staff was calling the injury "more of a neck issue," Swinney said, than a head injury.
"He got the crap knocked out of him. It was head and neck. He had some pain," Swinney said. "They have a whole protocol on all of that stuff. You get put in concussion protocol for anything that creates a symptom."
Chase Brice, who became the No. 2 quarterback only after previous starter Kelly Bryant was demoted and announced he would transfer, rallied No. 4 Clemson to a 27-23 victory over the Orange.
The No. 4 Tigers (5-0, 2-0 in the ACC) are preparing for Saturday's game against Wake Forest (3-2, 0-1). Brice, freshman Ben Batson and receiver Hunter Renfrow are listed behind Lawence on the QB depth chart.
Lawrence has completed 49 of 75 passes for 693 yards and nine touchdowns with two interceptions so far this season. Brice was 7 of 13 for 83 yards and no touchdowns with an interception in relief Saturday, but he led the second-half comeback, including converting a critical fourth-and-6 play, as Clemson scored with 41 seconds to play for the four-point win.
