During his Zoom conference call on Sunday evening, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney gave an update on where his team stands from an injury standpoint following the Tigers’ 48-20 win over Louisiana Tech on Saturday night at Death Valley.

“Injury wise, we’ve got some guys coming back, some guys that are a little banged up here or there that are day-to-day,” Swinney said. “But again, overall, in a pretty good spot.”

Swinney was asked if there are any players that he knows will be out this week.

“I think it’s just kind of wait-and-see,” Swinney said. “I think we’re at that point where most all these guys are kind of day-to-day, and might be some week-to-week as we move forward. But not anybody right now that I know is out.”

Swinney said following the Louisiana Tech game that sophomore safety Andrew Mukuba fell at practice and dislocated his elbow, while defensive tackle Tre Williams is nursing a knee and cornerback Nate Wiggins has a hip flexor. Swinney said defensive tackle Tyler Davis “probably could’ve played” and added that “we’ll see where (Xavier Thomas) is as well.”

Clemson will face Wake Forest in Winston-Salem this Saturday. The game will kick off at noon ET on ABC.
