Clemson offensive line coach shares injury update on Walker Parks
One of the areas the Tigers need the most help with in the 2024 season is the offensive line, and the return of veteran lineman Walker Parks should definitely help there. In 2023, Parks had a season-ending lower-body injury against Charleston Southern, which resulted in him playing just two games and 123 offensive snaps. Now a redshirt senior, Parks is in his fifth and final year with the program. During Dabo Swinney’s Media Outing at the Allen Reeves Football Complex on Tuesday, offensive line coach Matt Luke shared an injury update on Parks. “He is doing well,” Luke said “That was a tough one just because I did not get him in the bowl game or spring practice, but right now, he looks as good as he has looked since I have been here. He is full speed running and he is full speed in the weight room. It will probably be five or six practices in before we really know more.” Hopefully, Parks will be 100% by the start of the season. The Tigers need him to compete for an ACC Championship.
