During Dabo Swinney’s Tuesday press conference, the Tigers head coach updated the injury status of multiple Tigers, including starting defensive end Justin Mascoll.
Mascoll, who started the first seven games of the season, has missed the Tigers’ last two games against NC State and Notre Dame. According to Swinney, Mascoll is getting better and hopes he is ready to go for this Saturday’s matchup against Georgia Tech.
“He’s better. Hopefully, no setback today or tomorrow and get him back,” Swinney said. “He’s been out the last couple of weeks. But, excited. Hopefully he’s ready to go. I know he wants to play.”
Clemson’s defense has been great this season, but there are no doubts that getting a veteran leader back on the defensive line will help their cause.
