Swinney Gives Injury Update on Starting OL

Following No. 8 Clemson’s 27-16 win over Troy on Saturday at Death Valley, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney gave an injury update on starting left tackle Tristan Leigh.

Leigh, who did not play Saturday, was in a walking boot during pregame warmups.

Swinney commented on how long the fifth-year senior will be out.

“Not long,” Swinney said. “It’s short term.”

Swinney confirmed that Leigh, who has started at left tackle the last two seasons, was injured in last Saturday’s season opener against LSU.

The 6-foot-6, 310-pounder played 60 snaps against LSU.
