Availability Report: Clemson Gets Two Key Players Back

Clemson's defense gets a boost with the return of two key players

Clemson's defense got a boost this week with the return of two key players. Defensive tackle Tyler Davis and safety Jalyn Phillips have both been cleared to play in Saturday's game against Wake Forest. Davis has been out since the season opener with a foot injury, while Phillips has been out since the second game of the season with a hamstring injury.

Davis and Phillips are both key pieces to Clemson's defense

Davis is a senior who started all 15 games last season. He is a disruptive force in the middle of the defensive line, and his return will give Clemson a much-needed boost against Wake Forest's run game. Phillips is a junior who started 13 games last season. He is a versatile safety who can play both in the box and in coverage. His return will give Clemson a much-needed boost in the secondary.

Clemson's defense has struggled without Davis and Phillips

Clemson's defense has struggled without Davis and Phillips. The Tigers have allowed 24 points per game this season, which is 10th in the ACC. Clemson has also struggled to generate pressure on the quarterback, with just 10 sacks this season. The return of Davis and Phillips should help Clemson improve in both areas.

Clemson is favored to beat Wake Forest

Clemson is a 24-point favorite to beat Wake Forest on Saturday. The Tigers have won the last six meetings between the two teams. Clemson is also 5-0 at home this season.

Conclusion

The return of Davis and Phillips is a big boost for Clemson's defense. The Tigers will need both players to be at their best if they want to beat Wake Forest and stay in the ACC title race.
