4 Clemson and Florida State were set to kick off at noon ET in Tallahassee, Florida, a game that would have marked Tigers quarterback Trevor Lawrence's return to action following a positive COVID-19 test and multiple-week layoff.

The schools and conference announced Saturday morning that the game has been postponed after "both teams' medical personnel were unable to mutually agree on moving forward with the game," as explained by the ACC in a statement released less than four hours ahead of kickoff.

"We are disappointed that we will not be able to play today's game against Florida State," Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich said.

The issue that led to the postponement was a symptomatic Clemson player whose Friday COVID-19 test came back positive Saturday morning, CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd reports.

That information was shared with Florida State during a meeting between the schools' medical personnel ahead of the game.

That revelation gave Florida State pause about playing the game even if it was rescheduled to Sunday or Monday, while Clemson believes the game should have been played at some point over the next few days and it is not at fault for the postponement, sources told Dodd.

Prior to an ACC game, teams share attestation forms that show the course of testing during a game week.

On Friday, or the day before the game, the teams are tested by a third party selected by the ACC office.

12 as an open date, but the game has not yet been rescheduled.
