Clemson held its second scrimmage of fall camp inside Memorial Stadium on Thursday, and did so without one of its projected starters along the offensive line.

Walker Parks, the Tigers’ veteran right guard, was injured during the first scrimmage last weekend and did not participate in Thursday’s scrimmage. Dabo Swinney noted Parks was held and provided the latest update.

“He will be alright, he’ll be alright,” the head coach said after the scrimmage. “He will be good to go.”

One of the few remaining super seniors, Parks has faced his share of adversity in recent years. In 2023, Parks suffered a season-ending injury in Week 2. He logged just 123 snaps that season.

Parks bounced back last year, starting all 14 games, while earning third-team All-ACC honors.

If Parks weren’t ready to go in time for the season opener against LSU, junior Harris Sewell would be a prime candidate to slide into that slot. Sewell is a former Top 100 recruit who has already started eight games while logging more than 1,000 snaps over his first three seasons. Sophomore Elyjah Thurmon, who recently said he’s been repping at all five spots along the offensive line, has also taken snaps at right guard.
