Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney met with the media following the Tigers’ 45-10 victory over Furman on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Swinney gave an injury update on redshirt junior defensive end Jahiem Lawson, who was injured early in the third quarter of Saturday’s game. There was good news for Clemson in regards to Lawson’s injury.

“I think it is just a sprained ankle. We will just have to see where he is. He will be day-to-day,” Swinney said.

With 10:47 to play in the third quarter, Lawson was injured on a third-and-7 play from the Furman 23-yard line. Lawson was looked at for several minutes by team trainers before he was helped off the field and carried over to the injury tent.

Lawson’s injury appeared to be a lower leg injury, and he was later seen walking with crutches towards the locker room.

Lawson was credited with a quarterback hurry in Saturday’s game. He entered Saturday’s game with 23 total tackles, six tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, three pass breakups and three quarterback pressures across 10 games this season.

The 6-foot-2, 255-pounder came into the 2025 campaign with 31 tackles (4.5 for loss), one sack, three pass breakups and a fumble recovery over 19 games (four starts) from 2022-24.

Clemson (6-5) returns to action next Saturday against rival South Carolina. Kickoff at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia is set for noon on SEC Network.
