Clemson had a pair of starters miss Saturday’s game against Charleston Southern as safety Andrew Mukuba and receiver Cole Turner were held out with injuries. Swinney shared that Mukuba is “day-to-day but doing good,” while Turner will be back this weekend when Clemson hosts FAU.
In addition to getting back Turner, Clemson will also have freshman receiver Tink Kelley available against the Owls. Kelley has yet to play in a game this season and the plan is for Clemson to redshirt him.
[Defensive lineman Vic] Burley has also yet to appear in a game this season, but unlike Kelley, the plan is for Burley to avoid a redshirt and be a regular contributor for the Tigers.
“[Burley’s] back. He’s back in practice this week. We’ll see how he does today and tomorrow,” Swinney said. “Today will be full pads day and tomorrow will be a shells day, but he just got put back last night into practice. So we’ll see. He’s a guy we hope will be able to help us.”
