As Clemson continues what Dabo Swinney calls its “Championship Phase,” the third-ranked Tigers appear to be getting healthier.
Clemson welcomed back defensive tackle Tyler Davis and linebacker James Skalski and Mike Jones during Saturday’s 52-17 victory over Pittsburgh. On Sunday, Swinney says he expects to have cornerback Sheridan Jones and safety Jalyn Phillips back for this week’s Virginia Tech game.
The Tigers’ head coach also said defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro is close to being back as well from an injury that has kept him out for much of the year. Orhorhoro was dressed on Saturday and went through pre-game warmups, but he did not play.
