Clemson Football updates injury list
The Clemson Football staff met with the press yesterday to kick off the new 2024 season.
I will have plenty of takes based on the information presented during the conference, which included most of the main staff.
We always want to know more about injuries that could impact player participation in fall camp.
According to Dabo Swinney, the only player who won’t be participating at the start of camp will be cornerback Myles Oliver.
Dabo Swinney says cornerback Myles Oliver is about the only player -- as Swinney knocks on wood -- who won't be participating in fall camp, because he tore his ACL last year.

Rest of team is healthy heading into fall camp.
This is good news, as injuries have been a nuisance for this team over the past five seasons. Several players were held out of spring practices to recover and prepare for the fall.
Another player asked about was Walker Parks, who missed much of the 2024 season with a leg injury. Matt Luke offered this update:
"He is doing well. That was a tough one just because I did not get him in the bowl game or spring practice, but right now, he looks as good as he has looked since I have been here. He is full-speed running and he is full-speed in the weight room. It will probably be five or six practices in before we really know more."

This does not mean we won’t see guys in yellow or green jerseys that will be somewhat limited during practices, but on the whole this is a good injury report.
