    For Whom The Bells Toal And Tigers Are Hurting


    Injuries have taken their toll on Boston College linebacker Brian Toal. Toal, who is probably the Eagles' most physically gifted player, will more than likely redshirt this coming season, new Eagles coach Jeff Jagodzinski and Toal said Thursday. Toal underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder in early March and hasn't fully healed. The Eagles are scheduled to begin preseason practice Aug. 5.

    Four Clemson football players have sustained injuries in recent weeks that will limit their off-season workout schedule.

    Linebacker Kavell Conner, and running backs Ray Ray McElrathbey and Ronald Watson, Jr, all have had arthroscopic knee surgery in the last week. Freshman Drew Traylor suffered a broken ankle at home in Alabama before he came to Clemson last week.

    Conner and McElrathbey are expected to be ready for the beginning of preseason practice on August 4, while Watson may not be ready for that first practice. Traylor's return to the team is unknown at this time as he is still in a cast. He is enrolled in classes at Clemson for the second session of summer school.
