Former Gamecock Connor Shaw ‘100 percent’ going into 2016
An injury cost ex-Gamecock Connor Shaw the entirety of his 2015 season.
It looks as if he’ll start 2016 with a clean bill of health.
The Cleveland Browns passer tweeted Friday he’s been fully cleared. He damaged ligaments in his thumb in a preseason game against Washington last season.
Great way to start 2016. 100% medically cleared. Thank you for the encouragement & prayers. Isaiah 40:31
