Swinney Gives 2 Injury Updates

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney gave a couple injury updates during his radio show Monday night.

Swinney said he thinks the Tigers will get backup linebacker Kobe McCloud back for Saturday’s game against Georgia Tech.

Last Monday, Swinney said the fifth-year linebacker would likely miss multiple games after suffering an injury during the Tigers’ win at Florida State on Oct. 31.

However, it sounds like Clemson may get him back this week.

“I think we’re going to get Kobe McCloud back,” Swinney said.

McCloud has appeared in eight games thus far this season. The 5-foot-11, 225-pounder has posted 14 total tackles and a pass breakup.

Swinney also said Monday night he hopes the Tigers will get freshman wide receiver Gordon Sellars III back this week.

“Hopefully we’ll get him back,” Swinney said.

Sellars has missed the last three games. After missing the Virginia Tech and Florida State games with a concussion, Sellars returned to practice last week. However, the freshman suffered a setback during practice, causing him to be sidelined once again for the Syracuse game.

Sellars logged 63 snaps over the first six games, catching three passes for 8 yards.

Saturday’s game vs. Georgia Tech at Clemson’s Memorial Stadium is set for a 12:30 p.m. kickoff and will be televised on The CW.
