CLEMSON – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was asked about the status of senior defensive tackle Markus Strong in his weekly press conference Tuesday.
Strong suffered a severe lower-leg injury in the Tigers’ season-opener against LSU back in September, and Swinney initially announced that he would most likely be out for the remainder of the season.
However, on Tuesday, the Tigers’ leader provided a different answer after alluding to Strong’s progress in a report last week. Around two months after the initial injury, Swinney believes the defensive lineman could make it back for the end of Clemson’s season.
