DAVIE, Fla. -- Clemson cornerback Sheridan Jones did not practice Wednesday, as the seventh-ranked Tigers prepare to play No. 6 Tennessee in the Orange Bowl Friday at Hard Rock Stadium.

The senior came to practice wearing street clothes, a sign that he could miss the game considering the Orange Bowl Classic will kick off in two days.

Jones was wearing a yellow jersey in Tuesday's practice. There is no official word from Clemson on why he did not practice Wednesday or if he will be available for the Tigers.

The Clemson cornerback has started and played in 10 games this year. He missed three games due to a stinger in his shoulder.

Jones has 31 tackles this season and has broken up one pass, as defenses have seldom throw in his direction.
