The Clemson Tigers will be without one of their biggest stars on defense for the Week 5 ACC matchup against the Stanford Cardinal.
Defensive tackle Peter Woods will miss a second straight game when the Tigers kick off against the Cardinal (7 p.m. ET, ESPN). Also listed as inactive prior to Saturday’s kickoff were cornerback Corian Gipson, offensive lineman Collin Sadler and wide receiver Troy Stellato.
Woods was injured on a chop block in the Tigers’ 66-20 win over Appalachian State in Week 2.
Tigers coach Dabo Swinney gave an update on Woods earlier in the week and said that both he and receiver Tyler Brown were still day-to-day.
For his part, Brown appears ready to play and is dressed for the game. Swinney had said that the sophomore receiver had been a game-time decision in last week’s 59-35 win over NC State.
Out for today’s game, per Clemson: CB Corian Gipson, OL Collin Sadler, WR Troy Stellato, DL Peter Woods

WR Tyler Brown has taken the field for Clemson, and his feet don’t seem taped up at all.
Was dealing with an ankle.
