Nyheim Hines passes concussion protocol, will play against UNC

NC State running back Nyheim Hines didn’t practice early in the week after suffering an apparent head injury against Wake Forest, but he says he’ll be ready to play against UNC. Hines was tested for a concussion after the the Wake game and fortunately showed no signs of a serious head injury. Hines has been playing at less than 100% for a while now.

NC State RB Nyheim Hines will play against Carolina on Saturday. Hines, who grew up a State fan: “I wouldn’t miss this game for the world.”

Nobody would like to have a big season finale more than Hines, who needs 156 yards rushing to hit 1,000 yards in the regular season.
