Clemson starting quarterback Deshaun Watson will have surgery on Monday to repair his injured hand and is likely to be sidelined for five weeks, the Greenville (S.C.) News reported.
Watson, a freshman, suffered a broken finger in Saturday’s 23-17 victory over Louisville.

Stoudt began the season as Clemson’s starter, but was replaced by Watson during the Florida State game on September 20.
Watson might be able to return for a late-season game or a Clemson bowl game.
