Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson confirmed on Tuesday that quarterback Kendall Hinton and running back Cade Carney will not play against NC State this weekend. Hinton sprained a knee ligament against Delaware. Carney hasn’t played in a couple weeks, also because of a knee injury.
So far Wake has been able to play through these setbacks without problem, but nonetheless this is coming at a cost to the Deacs’ offensive output. Hinton was productive through the air and on the ground in the early going, while Carney was coming off a 100-yard rushing game against Duke before he got hurt.
