Clemson cornerback Adrian Baker tore his ACL during last Saturday’s practice. Head coach Dabo Swinney confirmed Baker’s injury prior to the Tigers’ sixth practice of the spring on Wednesday.
The team’s worst fear in regards to his knee was confirmed on Monday.
“Just like in a lot of ACL injuries, it was non-contact. It was planted doing one-on-ones. He just planted it,” Swinney said. “We have already started that process of getting him back. We are all hopeful. The goal is to get him sometime in September back with us.
“His attitude is good, but you hate it when young men have to deal with that type of adversity.
