Clemson closed fall camp Tuesday with a situational scrimmage at Death Valley. And though the Tigers had a few more players play in the scrimmage than they did in Saturday’s scrimmage, they are still relatively banged up.

The good news for Clemson is no one is out with any major injury that could cause them to miss any significant time.

“We are in a good place. I am really glad we still have, not quite a month, but almost a month to get ready to play because we still have a lot of work to do today at Clemson,” Swinney said. “That is what next week will be about as well. We will come back and have another week of work on Clemson and have our last scrimmage next Wednesday.

“After that, the following week, we will start our game prep work.”

Swinney said they are slowly getting players back to practice, but they had a lot of players wearing yellow jerseys on Tuesday, meaning they can’t participate in practice.

Running back Travis Etienne and wide receiver Amari Rodgers did play in Tuesday’s scrimmage after being held out of Saturday’s.

“It is just that time of camp,” Swinney said. “We have not just been going for two weeks in camp, but these guys have been going mandatory since July 6. There has been lots of conditioning, lots of running, lots of training and then you get into camp and it is a grind.

“Then all of a sudden you get some shoulders, some ankles, some groins, and guys just banged up and stuff. But guys are slowly kind of coming back and I think now that we are breaking camp our guys will have a little more time. Our guys are committed to taking care of their bodies and they really do a good job of that in the cold tube and all the rehab stuff and the recovery stuff and nutrition.”
