Injury Updates Ahead of Clemson’s Rivalry Matchup vs. South Carolina

Clemson’s defensive front gets a timely boost for Saturday’s noon clash with South Carolina, as defensive tackle Stephiylan Green is officially set to return. After missing the last two games, Green’s availability immediately upgrades the Tigers’ interior, giving them one of their most dependable run-stoppers back for a matchup that often hinges on who controls the trenches. He has been a steady, disruptive presence throughout the season, and having him back changes the tone for a Clemson defense preparing for a physical rivalry game in Columbia.

The travel roster, released early Saturday morning, did come with a couple of expected omissions. Tight end Olsen Patt-Henry and defensive end Jahiem Lawson were not cleared after both left last week’s win over Furman with injuries. Their absences thin Clemson’s depth at two spots, but neither storyline carries the weight of Green’s return.

With one of its most impactful linemen back in the lineup, Clemson enters the Palmetto Bowl with a far stronger outlook in the middle of its defense—an area that often dictates how this game unfolds once the ball is kicked at high noon.
