CLEMSON, S.C. -- Injured Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson won't return this week.<br />
<br />
The team's injury report Thursday listed Watson as out for the Tigers (7-3) home contest Saturday against Georgia State (1-9). Watson sprained a ligament and bruised a bone in his left knee in the first quarter of Clemson's 28-6 loss at No. 17 Georgia Tech (No. 18 CFP) last week. Watson had missed the Tigers three previous games with a broken bone in his throwing hand.<br />
<br />
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney had previously said backup Cole Stoudt would start against the Panthers.<br />
<br />
Swinney had initially thought Watson's knee injury was more serious, but tests revealed only a ligament sprain and the coach said the freshman could play again this season.<br />
<br />
Clemson closes the regular season on Nov. 29 against rival South Carolina.
