Clemson announced its 80-man travel roster for tonight's season opener against Georgia Tech at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. 

Here are a few key notes about the No. 4 Tigers' personnel heading into the 8 p.m. contest: 

  • Dabo Swinney announced Wednesday that defensive end Xavier Thomas (foot) and receiver Adam Randall (ACL rehab) were the only two injury-related players out. 
  • Thomas suffered his injury during the first scrimmage of fall camp but is expected back this month. 
  • Randall blew out his knee in spring practice but has advanced quickly and could be on the field in September, but no specific timetable has been announced. 
  • Receiver Beaux Collins suffered a shoulder injury in August and missed a couple of weeks of practice but, he's available to play against the Yellow Jackets.
  • E.J. Williams, who also sat out of several fall camp practices with a back bruise, should play tonight. 
  • Defensive tackle Tré Williams is healthy and expected to be in the rotation at a deep position tonight. He suffered a weight-room injury in early August that required minor surgery. 
  • Clemson carried two freshmen cornerbacks to Atlanta: Toriano Pride Jr. and Jeadyn Lukus. 
  • Freshman safety Sherrod Covil made the trip and should see his first action of the season. 
  • Freshman WR Antonio Williams is suiting up and will likely be in the rotation in the slot behind starter Brannon Spector. 
  • Clemson carried all five quarterbacks and five running backs, including freshman Keith Adams Jr., to Atlanta.

Here's the full travel roster for the Tigers:
