Clemson HC Dabo Swinney shares injury update on Adam Randall, multiple Tigers in camp
Senior running back Adam Randall was back in action Thursday after missing some practice time earlier in the week with a minor injury. The former wide receiver, who transitioned to the backfield ahead of last year's College Football Playoff game against Texas, didn't waste time making his presence felt. According to Dabo Swinney, Randall broke free for a 50-plus yard run early in the scrimmage and added several other chunk plays throughout the day. With Jarvis Green already sidelined long term and Jay Haynes still rehabbing from last December's ACL injury, Randall's health will be vital for a position group that can't afford another major setback.
While Randall was making plays, the Tigers were without veteran right guard Walker Parks, who suffered an injury during the first scrimmage last weekend. Swinney said the fifth-year senior is expected to be ready for the opener, but the staff has contingency plans in place. Junior Harris Sewell, a former Top 100 prospect with eight career starts, and sophomore Elyjah Thurmon, who has worked at all five spots on the offensive line, have been getting work at right guard. Parks has battled through adversity before, missing most of the 2023 season before returning to start all 14 games last fall and earning third-team All-ACC honors.
In the secondary, junior safety Khalil Barnes remains limited by a minor injury that has kept him out for over a week. Barnes participated in situational work Thursday but did not see live snaps. The Georgia native quickly became one of Clemson's most impactful defenders as a freshman in 2023, earning All-American recognition with three interceptions, three forced fumbles and a defensive touchdown. He followed that up last year by leading the team with four picks, becoming the first Tiger to reach that mark since 2019.
Clemson now shifts its focus to the final stretch of camp, hoping to have its key contributors healthy and ready when the Tigers take the field against LSU on August 30.

NFL will continue featuring social justice messages including 'End Racism' in end zones
The social justice messages stenciled at the back of NFL end zones appeared as if they might be on their way out after the league did not use "End Racism" on the back line during last season's Super Bowl. However, the NFL will feature these messages again this season including "End Racism," along with 'Stop Hate,' 'Choose Love,' or 'Inspire Change" on one of the back lines. The opposite end zone in every NFL game will have the message "It Takes All of Us." Before Super Bowl LIX in February, the NFL's decision fueled speculation that removing the "End Racism" slogan from the rotation of messages was intended to appease President Donald Trump and his initiatives against diversity, equity and inclusion programs and policies in the federal government and higher education. Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to watch a Super Bowl in person, invited as a guest of New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson. Last season's Super Bowl featured "Choose Love" at the back of one end zone and "It Takes All of Us" in the other. Leading up to the game, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy denied that the decision had anything to do with Trump. And when the story about the end zone stencils was originally reported by The Athletic, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he was "proud" of the league's efforts to promote diversity. 'We got into diversity efforts because we felt it was the right thing for the National Football League,' Goodell told The Athletic's Michael Silver. 'And we're going to continue those efforts, because we've not only convinced ourselves we've proven it to ourselves — it does make the NFL better.' "End Racism" will be on the back of one end zone for every one of the NFL's international games this season, with "It Takes All of Us" on the other back line. The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will have "Choose Love" on one of their end zones when they open the season versus the Dallas Cowboys, the AP reports. However, the team will rotate all four of the social justice messages during the season. "End Racism" has been stenciled on NFL end zones since 2020 as part of the league's "Inspire Change" initiative, in which the four social justice messages (which initially included "Vote" in place of "Inspire Change") were featured in response to the protests throughout the country following the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis. "Choose Love" was added in 2022, resonating especially with the Buffalo Bills and their fans after a mass shooting at a Buffalo supermarket. In addition to the social justice messages along the end zone back lines, the NFL will also promote charitable campaigns including Salute to Service to honor the military community and Crucial Catch for cancer research in its end zones during select weeks through the season.

Packers' Josh Jacobs ranks No. 33 on NFL's 'Top 100' list
Another group of the NFL's "Top 100" players has been released as the regular season rushes closer and Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is ranked the 33rd best player in the league. Is he rated high enough? His 1,671 total yards from scrimmage last season suggest he may not be getting enough credit from his peers in the NFL players' vote for both his versatility and workload. Jacobs ran for 1,329 yards last season and 15 of his 16 touchdowns were on the ground. However, he also had a career-high 36 catches for 342 yards, averaging 9.5 yards a reception. Those numbers show elite playmaking ability. More than half of Jacobs' rushing yards last season were after contact. He was the fourth Packer to rush for at least 13,000 yards in a season. The others are Ahman Green, Jim Taylor and Dorsey Levens. Jacobs did not appear among the top 100 players prior to the 2024 season, but was ranked the 13th best player in prior to 2023. He joins fellow Packers Jordan Love and Rashan Gary in the 2025 top 100. This article originally appeared on Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Packers' Josh Jacobs ranked No. 33 on NFL's 'Top 100' list
