NC State linebacker Jerod Fernandez suffered what appeared at the time to be a significant leg injury during the third quarter of the Wolfpack's win at Wake Forest on Saturday afternoon. Fernandez, who was in on a tackle, had a Wake offensive lineman land hard on his right leg, and he left the field with an air cast on that leg.
After the game, Dave Doeren said X-rays on Fernandez's leg were negative, which is outstanding news given how it looked on the field.
