Former Clemson WR carted off field with injury |
Los Angeles Chargers receiver
Artavis Scott was carted off the field with a right ankle injury during a kickoff return in the second quarter of Thursday's contest against the 49ers.
Scott was battling for the fifth wide receiver spot and one of the last spots on the 53-man roster. No word yet on the severity of the injury but it doesn't look good. During the preseason, he was impressive with eight catches (2nd on team) with 82 receiving yards. He spent his rookie season on the team's practice squad after not being drafted in 2017. He was an All-ACC wide receiver each of his three seasons at Clemson and was the school's career leader with 245 receptions (fifth in ACC history) for 2,458 yards and 19 touchdowns in 1,981 snaps over 43 career games (36 starts). He caught a pass in 42 of 43 games and finished with a streak of 38 straight with at least one reception, setting a school-record streak. He is also fifth in Clemson history with 19 career receiving touchdowns. In 2016, Scott was named Second-team All-ACC (media) and was second on the team with 76 receptions for 614 yards and five touchdowns in 709 snaps over 15 games (15 starts). Sad to see WR Artavis Scott being taken off the field on a cart with a right leg injury. Really had a good training camp and appeared on the way to earning a roster spot. WR Artavis Scott injured on the kickoff return - needs help off the field (right leg injury). He's definitely a candidate for one of the final roster spots and an injury could change that
