Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has provided updates regarding several player injuries during the football season. In October, Swinney addressed a minor injury to freshman quarterback Tait Reynolds, noting the player was fine to continue after appearing to limp during a game against Charleston Southern.

By November, the team faced more significant setbacks following a victory over Syracuse. Cornerback Donovan Starr was expected to miss the rest of the regular season due to an ankle injury, while starting center Harris Sewell remained sidelined following ankle surgery. Additionally, quarterback Tait Reynolds sustained a non-throwing arm injury during the Syracuse game, though Swinney described him as merely “banged up” after he completed the contest.
