Clemson’s defense took a big blow. Head coach Dabo Swinney announced at his weekly press conference on Tuesday it will be without starting linebacker James Skalski for a little bit longer than expected.
Skalski missed this past Saturday’s game with Syracuse because of an injury to his groin. On Monday, an MRI revealed there was more damage to the groin than they first thought. Swinney is not sure when the defense’s starting middle linebacker will be back.
“We really felt like Skalski was going to be good to go. He was feeling pretty good,” Swinney said.
