Clemson wide receiver Tee Higgins missed most of the first half of the Tigers' College Football Playoff game vs. Ohio State on Saturday after suffering a possible head or neck injury. He returned to the game for the start of the second half.
Higgins was shaken up as he jumped for a pass from Trevor Lawrence in the first quarter. His helmet was knocked off his head by safety Jordan Fuller before he landed on his left elbow out of bounds.
