Clemson held its first scrimmage of fall camp Saturday, giving Dabo Swinney a fresh look at his team in a live setting at Memorial Stadium.
Swinney had lots to say after Saturday’s scrimmage, including praise for his offensive line and quarterback Cade Klubnik among others.
The Tigers’ coach, now in his 17th season, also offered an update on the team’s injury situation.
“Got a couple guys got banged up,” Swinney said following the scrimmage. “We just have to see what the trainers say, with the extent of a couple guys that got taken out of the scrimmage for whatever reason it was. Don’t want to speculate on any of that.”
One of the players Swinney mentioned was cornerback Shelton Lewis, who sustained an unspecified injury Saturday.
“He’s out right now, but we should get him back here pretty soon. He’ll be day to day,” Swinney confirmed after the scrimmage,
Swinney added that freshman defensive tackle Vic Burley was also “day to day.”
“He had a good day (Friday), wasn’t quite ready to scrimmage (Saturday), but he’s working his way back in there,” Swinney said.
Also on the defensive line, freshman Stephiylan Green and junior Cade Denhoff are likewise dealing with unspecified injuries. 247Sports’ Austin Hannon noted that both Green and Denhoff were new additions to the team’s green non-contact jerseys at Saturday’s scrimmage.
“Denhoff’s fine. Stephiylan, same thing. Just not quite ready yet and working his way back, day to day,” Swinney said.
At receiver, Swinney said that tight end Jake Briningstool had been “limited.” “We kind of limited Brinny this week,” Swinney said. “Working him back in. He should be ready to go Monday.”
