https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/28463014/dabo-swinney-says-wrs-tee-higgins-justyn-ross-good-go-vs-lsu Dabo: WRs Higgins, Ross 'good to go' vs. LSU Tee Higgins and Justyn Ross, Clemson's top two receivers who were banged up in the CFP Semifinal, are both healthy and ready to face No. 1 LSU on Monday night, Dabo Swinney said Saturday.
NEW ORLEANS -- Tee Higgins and Justyn Ross, Clemson's top two receivers who were banged up against Ohio State in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl, are both healthy and ready to face No. 1 LSU on Monday night, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said.
"They're fine," Swinney said at the Tigers' media day on Saturday morning. "That's been a month ago. These guys heal up in two days nowadays. Yeah, they're fine. Higgins came back and played, and Ross just landed on his shoulder. They're good to go."
They're going to have to be to help Clemson keep pace with LSU's high-flying offense. Higgins went to the injury tent after his helmet popped off during a collision in the first drive of the game on Dec. 28. He headed to the locker room, and was questionable to return, but played in the second half of Clemson's 29-23 win. He enters Monday night's national championship game with 56 catches for 1,115 yards and 13 touchdown receptions.
Ross also was checked by trainers several times throughout the Fiesta Bowl after taking several hits, but remained in the game. He finished with 47 yards on a team-high six receptions against the Buckeyes.
"Are they 100 percent?" Swinney said, "As far as I know."

I don't know why he'd say, "as far as I know"

Rut roh. You don't think they're intentionally not telling Dabo so he can truthfully act like they're fine do you? We're doomed!

Nobody will miss this game unless they’re crippled.

Guys will play hurt. And they will give it everything they’ve got. Because this is it ... there is no more. Particularly for seniors and those declaring for the NFL.
Maybe they’re not totally 100%, but hardly anyone is at this point.
Only a serious injury with long range ramifications will keep a guy out of this game.

Both Higgins and Ross came up to our row to take pics/sigs - both of them looked good, in great spirits!
Can’t wait to see them both ball out!

Can't wait to see Higgins and Ross against Stingley.
Those two matchups are worth the price of admission alone.

Ross dragging the defender those 2–3 yards for the 1st down

... was a huge play that got the final drive going and got us off the shadow of our own goal.
He was playing hurt, but he was also playing tough!
