Dabo Swinney met with the media Wednesday following Clemson’s practice, sharing an injury update on Tigers’ starting defensive end Justin Mascoll.
After indicating that they weren’t sure of his status on Tuesday, Swinney was asked for an update on Wednesday as Mascoll is a crucial part of this defense. It sounds like the veteran defensive end will be a game-time decision for the Tigers’ Saturday matchup against NC State.
“Still kind of day to day,” Swinney said. “Getting better, so hopeful. But still day to day.”
Day-to-day has been a common label for injured Tigers this season. With seven starts this season, Mascoll has recorded 20 tackles, three tackles for loss, a pass breakup, three quarterback pressures, and a forced fumble.
We will monitor his injury status closely as we get closer to Saturday’s road matchup with the Wolfpack.
