Clemson coach Dabo Swinney today updated one of the Tigers’ first significant injuries of preseason camp.

Tre Williams missed time last season and this spring with various injuries, including both shoulders that were operated on this offseason. Less than a week into camp, Swinney said the junior defensive tackle recently sustained a knee injury in the weight room that will keep him sidelined for an unspecified amount of time.

Swinney said following Wednesday’s practice that Williams recently had a scope to clean up his latest injury and that the operation went well. He added it’s not out of the question that Williams is ready for the Labor Day opener against Georgia Tech.
