Clowney held out of practice due to groin/knee issue

Posted: Updated:

Take a deep breath, Gamecock fans. Jadeveon Clowney was held out of practice on Friday afternoon for what team officials say is a "groin/knee" issue.

Last year's SEC Freshman of the Year didn't practice because of what The Big Spur is reporting as a "slightly strained groin"

The report goes on to say that Clowney isn't expected to miss much time due to the injury.

You may exhale now.

As for other players, wide receiver DeAngelo Smith and cornerbacks Victor Hampton and Akeem Auguste were also held out due to injury.

The Gamecocks will practice again on Saturday at 3:45 p.m. at Williams-Brice Stadium. The second half of practice will be a scrimmage, and that practice is open to the public.
