Cecil with a tweet that Alabama native and Clemson WR Justyn Ross has a congenital fusion (spinal probably) and will miss the 2020 season. He will have surgery and hopes to return to football in 2021 but that isn't certain at this point.

Ross suffered what the team thought was a stinger during a scrimmage on the final practice session before the coronavirus shutdown ended spring workouts. The next day, team doctors said X-rays showed the issue, which Swinney said Ross has had since birth without being aware of it.
Ross will fly to Pittsburgh on Thursday and undergo surgery on Friday with Dr. David Okonkwo, a leading neuroscientist, according to Swinney.
Swinney said Ross is in good spirits and physically fine, but that the injury is a significant concern if he were to play football.
"He feels perfectly fine," Swinney said, "but doctors know he's at risk."
Swinney said Okonkwo is "optimistic" that Ross will be able to get back to football at some point, but Swinney said he is unaware of any player who's undergone surgery for this issue and returned previously.
