  All-conference Clemson football defensive end Xavier Thomas will miss four to six weeks with a foot injury, defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin said Monday. Thomas, a presumed starter and former five-star recruit, injured his foot in the Tigers' first scrimmage of preseason camp on Saturday in Memorial Stadium. "He's had a great camp and he's in a great spot conditioning-wise," Goodwin said of Thomas. "It's an unfortunate setback, but he's got the right mindset and we'll respond and get him back early in the year." Goodwin said he would defer to coach Dabo Swinney on the specifics of Thomas' injury, including what type of foot injury it was and which foot it was on.

Swinney's next scheduled preseason camp media availability is on Wednesday afternoon. >Goodwin added that it was "great news" to hear that Thomas' injury was not a season-ending one. The fifth-year defensive end is in a "good, positive state" now after being "down a little bit" after his initial injury Saturday, Goodwin said. "Life is tough and unfair at times," Goodwin said, "but he's in a great mental state right now and he's very positive and really excited to get back to where he was." Thomas' injury occurred on Aug. 13. A month-long recovery would put him on track to play in Clemson's third game of the season, a home matchup with Louisiana Tech on Sept. 17, after missing the remainder of preseason camp and the program's first two games at Georgia Tech on Sept. 5 and home against Furman on Sept. 10. - The State
