Injuries are a problem

There were so many injuries that the Tigers had trouble fielding two teams with players starting that’ll rarely if ever see the field during a competitive situation. I’m sure the strength and conditioning staff are doing everything possible to avoid the old soft tissue injuries, but it seems like every time a Tiger is hit, hits someone or falls to the ground someone is hurt.

It was reported that Decari Collins injured his shoulder during the game, but it was apparently not serious and Dabo Swinney indicated this was the only injury.

Still there’s fall camp ahead when the Tigers start hitting each other again and the way the injuries have been kicking the Tigers I worry about every practice.
