Cumbie Done?

Clemson defensive end Jamie Cumbie, who injured his shoulder in practice on Tuesday, is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery on Thursday.

While head coach Tommy Bowden was praising Cumbie's toughness Wednesday - Cumbie apparently injured the shoulder early in Tuesday's workout, but never asked to come out and finished the practice - it's what he DIDN'T say that has insiders worried.

The fear is that Cumbie has a torn labrum. If that's the case, he's done for the year. That would be a shame, because many feel Cumbie is primed for a good season.

The verdict will come after Thursday's procedure. Hold your breath, Clemson fans.
