During his Tuesday press conference ahead of Saturday’s top-10 matchup against LSU, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney gave an injury update on a projected starter along the offensive line.

Swinney was asked if veteran offensive lineman Walker Parks is fully cleared, or in a green (limited) or yellow (no contact) jersey.

“He’s back in practice,” Swinney said. “So, he’s doing good.”

Parks, a sixth-year senior, was injured during Clemson’s first scrimmage of camp on Aug. 9 and did not participate in the Tigers’ second and final scrimmage on Aug. 14. Fortunately for the Tigers, the injury wasn’t serious.

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.

Saturday’s game between fourth-ranked Clemson and No. 9 LSU at Clemson’s Memorial Stadium is set for 7:30 p.m. and will be televised on ABC.
