Spring Practice Day One Insider: Injuries playing a big role in start to spring

CLEMSON – Nothing beats a little bit of spring football practice under perfect spring-like conditions.

Clemson’s football team held the first practice of the spring late Wednesday afternoon on the practice fields outside the Reeves Complex, and there are plenty of team-related news and notes to pass along.

The most noticeable thing about the start of practice – beyond the 80-degree, sunny weather with a cool breeze – was the absence of so many notable players. Head coach Dabo Swinney ran through a list before the start of practice and there were several big names on that list that will either miss the entire spring or a sizable portion of it.
