Meeting with the media following Clemson’s dominant 42-21 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday, sharing an injury update on the Tigers’ star linebacker Barrett Carter.
Carter was a surprising missing piece on the Clemson defense, as he was not on the injury report heading into the game. Swinney shared an update on Carter’s status and why he missed the game.
“Barrett rolled his ankle Wednesday night,” Swinney said. “We thought he was going to be able to go. He did everything he could Thursday and Friday to try to get himself ready, and just didn’t feel stable as he needed to be this morning.”
Clemson’s defense looked elite without Carter, and they should look even better when they get him back on the field.
