Belichick Updates Status of Starting QB Gio Lopez
With Gio Lopez dealing with an injury, it is uncertain who will start at quarterback for North Carolina on Saturday when the Tar Heels host Clemson.
Lopez has been hampered by a lower-body injury and was not able to practice last week ahead of North Carolina’s open date. Backup Max Johnson took the first-string reps in Lopez’s absence.
“We’ll see what he’s able to do today,” head coach Bill Belichick said during his weekly press conference on Tuesday. “He didn’t do much last week, but he’s been in here every day, working hard and getting treatment, so we’ll see where he’s at today.”
