Clemson Football: 5 Tigers who’ll benefit most from early bye week

1. Xavier Thomas

Dabo Swinney provided a positive update earlier this week about Clemson football defensive end Xavier Thomas.

Thomas, who has been recovering from the virus and from strep-throat, has been held out of the last two games, but Swinney said he is further along than what the Tigers had originally expected.

Thomas is currently working to get back into football shape- and that takes some time-but it sounds like he’ll be back on the field sooner rather than later.

That means this bye week gives him yet another week of workouts to get under his belt and take another step towards getting back on the field and earning playing time.
