During his weekly Tuesday press conference, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney gave an injury update on three starters on the offensive side of the ball.
Swinney commented on the current status of a few starters who missed last week’s win at Syracuse, specifically offensive lineman Elyjah Thurmon (concussion), running back Gideon Davidson (ankle) and wide receiver Tyler Brown (ankle).
Swinney was asked if he thinks those three players will be able to return this week for Saturday’s game vs. Georgia Tech.
“We’ll put out the [ACC injury] report,” Swinney said. “They’re all kind of day-to-day, that group.”
On Wednesday, the ACC will release the initial injury report for the Clemson-Georgia Tech game.
Thurmon, Clemson’s starting left guard, suffered a concussion in the win at Florida State on Oct. 31. Davidson suffered a low-grade sprained ankle in the Florida State game, while Brown hurt his ankle in practice last week.
Davidson, a sophomore, has rushed 105 times for a team-high 528 yards and a team-high five rushing touchdowns this season. Brown, a senior, ranks third on the team in both receptions (36) and receiving yards (332). He has also rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown. Thurmon, a junior, has started all seven games he’s appeared in this season.
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.
