Clemson’s offensive line is getting another shakeup as one of its starters won’t be able to give it a go Saturday.

Will Putnam is among those who won’t play against Boston College when the teams kick it off at 7:30 p.m. from Memorial Stadium, according to a list of unavailable players announced by Clemson pregame. Cornerback Fred Davis and safety Joseph Charleston are also unavailable for Saturday’s game.

Injuries and COVID-19 protocols are among the reasons why players might be unavailable each week, though Clemson does not specify the reason for each unavailable player.

Putnam has started each of the first four games at right guard, but his absence will create another shakeup on the offensive line. Clemson started Paul Tchio at left guard against North Carolina State last week in place of freshman Marcus Tate, who started the first three games there.

Football season has finally arrived. Time to represent your Tigers and show your stripes!
