The UNC football team received bad news following their win over Miami on Saturday. Senior cornerback Patrice Rene tore his ACL in the first half against the Hurricanes and will miss the remainder of the year.
It’s a tough break for Rene who has fought the injury bug throughout his time in Chapel Hill. A medical redshirt would allow him to return next season if he chooses despite the fact that he will graduate this December. That will be a decision for him to make in the coming months.
Trey Morrison, who had a strong showing against Miami despite being questionable following an injury in the South Carolina game, will be the next man up in Rene’s absence.
