Dabo Swinney on Clemson wide receiver Tyler Brown undergoing surgery

Clemson wide receiver Tyler Brown underwent surgery.

Clemson football’s offense has been on a hot run, but will have to continue to keep it going without one of heir top offensive players.

Tigers’ head coach, Dabo Swinney, provided an update on wide receiver Brown following the Tigers’ 48-31 win over Virginia. Brown, who was seen on the sidelines in a boot and using a scooter, recently underwent tightrope surgery on his ankle.

Swinney shared optimism that Brown could return in time for Clemson’s next game against Louisville on November 2, thanks in part to the upcoming bye week. “We’re hopeful with the open date that he’ll make good progress,” Swinney said. “He was doing well, but he plateaued, so this should help with the final healing process.”

Brown has had a limited role this season after leading the team in receptions, yards, and touchdowns last year. He has only five catches for 30 yards in 2024, with his last appearance being a few snaps against Florida State on October 5.
