On his weekly radio show Monday night, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney provided an update on star defensive lineman Peter Woods, describing his status as “day-to-day.” Swinney commented, “He’s like all of us; he’s day-to-day.”
Woods was injured during the Tigers’ game against App State on Sept. 7, suffering a chop block below the knees in the second quarter. Fortunately, Swinney had previously noted that the injury wasn’t as severe as initially feared, stating, “It could’ve been a lot worse, so we’re thankful that it wasn’t.”
Before his injury, Woods had an impressive season opener against Georgia, recording a career-high 2.5 tackles for loss, including his first career sack, totaling six tackles. A former five-star recruit from Alabama and a 2023 freshman All-American, Woods entered this season with 27 tackles (2.5 for loss) and a forced fumble over 12 games, including two starts.
