CLEMSON – Football is back.
The top-ranked Clemson football team held a 2 1/2 hour practice Thursday afternoon, the first fall camp practice of the 2020 season.
Practice was a little different according to head coach Dabo Swinney.
"We've never had football practice with the type of protocols we have in place, but once we got on the field it was awesome,” Swinney said.
Dabo Swinney said defensive end Xavier Thomas is being held for medical purposes right now. Thomas caught COVID-19 and then strep throat and came back to campus a little heavy, so they are holding him.
