Swinney Says Veteran OL Out for Year
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney held his weekly Zoom conference call with the media on Sunday afternoon, following the Tigers’ 20-19 win at No. 20 Louisville on Friday night.
Swinney gave an injury update on veteran right guard Walker Parks, who went down in the fourth quarter of the win over Louisville.
Parks was seen after the game on crutches and in a walking boot. The sixth-year senior has already missed five games this season, dealing with injuries.
On Sunday, Swinney said that Parks hurt his ankle against Louisville and will be out for the year.
“That breaks my hurt,” Swinney said. “It really does.”
