Cade Klubnik Injury Update
Cade Klubnik is Clemson’s starting quarterback. He has been playing with pain for weeks. He first hurt his ankle in a game against Boston College. That injury caused him to miss the next game against SMU. Christopher Vizzina filled in for him that week.
Cade came back and played against Duke after missing practice. He had a big game with over 380 passing yards and two touchdowns. After Duke, he got hit in the thigh and suffered a quad contusion. His thigh injury made it hard for him to walk. He missed most practices that week. Still, he kept starting for Clemson.
Coach Dabo Swinney said Cade’s ankle is now fine. The quad contusion is the bigger problem. But Swinney says Cade is moving better. Each day he is getting healthier. The swelling in his thigh is going down. He practiced more this week than last week.
Despite the injuries, Cade keeps playing. He finished the last game against Florida State. He threw for over 220 yards and a touchdown. Swinney called him a warrior. He said most players would sit out with these injuries but Cade refuses to quit. He’s respected in the locker room for his toughness.
Clemson plans to start Cade against Louisville on Friday. The coaching staff will keep watching his status through the week. The official injury report will come out before the game. Swinney expects Cade will be ready. But the team will be cautious if he feels worse.
Right now, Cade Klubnik is not fully healthy. He’s still dealing with pain from the quad injury. But he’s playing and practicing more each day. Clemson’s coaches and players notice his effort. They believe he’ll play this week unless something changes before kickoff.
