For the most part Clemson will enter spring practice in pretty good shape as it pertains to injuries, but there are a few Tigers who could miss some, if not all, of spring practice as they rehab and recover from injuries.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney announced on signing day there is a chance starting defensive tackle Nyles Pinckney will not be ready to practice when the Tigers open up drills on Feb. 26. The 6-foot-1, 295-pound defensive tackle is still nursing the same ankle injury that kept him out of the national championship game last month.
Pinckney injured the ankle on the first play of the Tigers’ win against Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl.
