Week-to-week Vizzina (elbow) is expected to miss next Saturday's game against North Carolina, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.

Impact Vizzina, who suffered an elbow injury during Saturday's 22-7 win over Georgia Southern, is expected to miss at least next week's game against UNC with the possibility of an extended injury timeline. The 6-foot-4 senior quarterback tallied 102 passing yards (14-for-23), one touchdown and two interceptions. With Vizzina likely to be sidelined, Tait Reynolds is expected to start in his place.

Meeting with doctors for evaluation Vizzina (elbow) is meeting with doctors Sunday to have his injury evaluated, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Vizzina started Clemson's latest game Week 2 against Georgia Southern, and in the matchup, he suffered an injury to his non-throwing arm. There is no prognosis or timeline for his injured elbow, but it looks like a significant problem, which explains why he is already seeing doctors. Ideally, Vizzina's injury status will be publicly updated before Monday, or at the latest, just before the Tigers face North Carolina in Week 3.

Dabo Swinney on taking heat after loss to LSU: 'You play like that, you deserve to be criticized'

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney faces criticism after a 51-10 loss to LSU on Saturday

Will share playing opportunity in Week 2 Vizzina will share snaps with fellow quarterback Tait Reynolds in Saturday's game against Georgia Southern, Nick Coppola of The Greenville News reports.

Impact Before the 2026 season started, Vizzina had been competing against Reynolds to determine Clemson's starting quarterback. Even though Vizzina won out, he notably struggled out of the gate, recently logging fewer than 100 passing yards and more interceptions (one) than touchdowns (zero) at LSU. Reynolds is back in the QB race, though Vizzina struggling what has been projected to be a top Tigers team should not completely deter his chances of remaining QB1 this season.

Rough start to 2026 Vizzina completed 10 of 16 passes for 83 yards and one interception during Saturday's 51-10 loss versus LSU. He also had five rushes for four yards.

Impact Vizzina had a rough go of it in Death Valley. The gunslinger's day got off to a brutal start when he threw a pick-six that put Clemson in a 17-3 hole, one that would only get bigger. By the end of the first half, head coach Dabo Swinney pulled Vizzina in favor of Tait Reynolds, who didn't do a whole lot better himself. Clemson tossed for 105 total yards; this was a complete beatdown. LSU is stacked, but Clemson has some serious soul-searching to do.

Christopher Vizzina to start at QB for Clemson against No. 11 LSU, coach Dabo Swinney says

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney says Christopher Vizzina will start at quarterback against No. 11 LSU on Saturday night

SEPTEMBER 1 • Associated Press

Officially named starter Vizzina has been named the starter for Clemson ahead of Saturday's season-opening clash with LSU, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Vizzina led the quarterback battle with Tait Reynolds throughout camp, and it appears he'll get the starting nod to open the season in a big road game in Baton Rouge. Vizzina has minimal experience himself under center, but he has appeared in 11 games over the last pair of season, and threw for 406 yards and four touchdowns last year, starting one game against SMU.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to start Week 1 Vizzina is expected to start Clemson's regular-season opener Saturday against LSU, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact For most of August, Vizzina has been the clear leader in Clemson's quarterback competition, so it wouldn't be surprising if he enters the 2026 season as QB1. Even though the senior was limited last season, he showed promise by completing 45 passes for 406 yards and four touchdowns.

Still leading QB battle Vizzina continues to be the favorite to win the starting quarterback job for Clemson, per Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com.

Impact Vizzina has been viewed as the favorite in the Clemson quarterback competition for a while now and indications are he's keeping up the pace. The 6-foot-4 signal caller appeared in five games for the Tigers in 2025, throwing for 406 yards and four touchdowns to one interception in that time.

Leading QB1 competition Vizzina is currently leading the QB1 competition against Tait Reynolds as Clemson begins fall camp, per Chapel Fowler of The Columbia State.

Impact Head coach Dabo Swinney expressed that Vizzina holds the lead in the quarterback competition heading into the second half of training camps. Vizzina has been battling Tait Reynolds since spring practices began, impressing Swinney early on, but he will need to maintain that momentum through fall camp to secure the starting quarterback job. Vizzina has a little leverage over Reynolds due to his familiarity with the Tigers' offense, having been with the program since 2024, while Reynolds enters the season as a true freshman.
