Clemson starting running back Wayne Gallman will be held out of practice this week as he goes through the concussion protocol.

Gallman missed most of Clemson's 24-17 overtime win over against North Carolina State after he took a hard hit in the Tigers' opening drive.

Gallman, a junior, caught a swing pass from quarterback Deshaun Watson for 18 yards before N.C. State's Dravious Wright delivered a hard hit. Gallman stayed on the ground for several minutes before he was helped to the sideline and then went to the locker room.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Monday that Gallman will be kept from workouts during the team's bye week until he is cleared.

Last season, Gallman set the school's single-season rushing record with 1,527 yards, along with 13 touchdowns. He leads the team with 489 rushing yards and five touchdowns this year.
