Swinney Asked for Update on Status of Peter Woods

During his weekly radio show Monday night, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was asked for the latest on the status of star defensive lineman Peter Woods.

“He’s day-to-day,” Swinney said. “He’s like all of us, he’s day-to-day.”

Last week on his radio show, Swinney said the Tigers dodged a bullet with Woods and his injury.

The sophomore was injured in the first half against App State on Sept. 7 when he got chop blocked below the knees in the second quarter.

“It could’ve been a lot worse, so we’re thankful that it wasn’t,” Swinney said last week.

Prior to the App State game, Woods tallied a career-high 2.5 tackles for loss, including his first career sack, among his six tackles in Clemson’s season opener against Georgia.

A former five-star prospect from Alabama and 2023 freshman All-American, Woods came into this season credited with 27 tackles (2.5 for loss) and a forced fumble in 307 snaps over 12 games (two starts) last season.
