Virginia Lists 20 Players on Week 0 Injury Report Ahead of NC State Opener

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 27

Summary

  • Virginia’s Week 0 availability report lists 20 players, with a heavy concentration in the out and questionable categories before Saturday’s ACC opener against NC State.
  • The disclosure came under ACC injury-reporting rules for conference games, making the Cavaliers’ preseason attrition unusually visible before either team has played a regular-season snap.
  • NC State also enters the matchup short-handed, with more than half a dozen players out, but Virginia’s longer list has become the main pregame concern.
  • The early injury load adds another layer to a rare same-conference season opener, with both ACC teams trying to gain an immediate edge in the league race.
