Clemson wide receiver Amari Rodgers suffered a torn ACL during Monday’s spring practice, but Tigers coach Dabo Swinney is hopeful that Rodgers will be healthy at some point during the 2019 season.
Rodgers is set to have surgery on his torn ACL on his right knee on Friday and will begin the rehab process then.
An ACL injury typically takes at least six-to-nine months to recover from, and Clemson opens the season on Aug. 29, about five months from now.
Swinney pointed to former players Sam Cooper and Chad Kelly suffering torn ACLs during the spring game on April 13, 2013 and being available for the season opener against Georgia less than five months later as the reason he is optimistic Rodgers could play at some point in 2019.
