Russell Wilson has torn ligament in knee
Jan 6, 2009
N.C. State and All-ACC quarterback Russell Wilson underwent an MRI this week that confirmed a diagnosis of a knee sprain during last week's bowl loss to Rutgers, according to the school's athletic department.
Wilson suffered a tear of his posterior cruciate ligament in the second quarter of the Papajohns.com Bowl and he did not return in the second half. The injury will not require surgery, but Wilson will be limited for the next several weeks.
When he left the game, Wilson had passed for 186 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 46 yards. He gave the Wolfpack a 17-6 lead. With Wilson sidelined, Rutgers came back and won 29-23.

As a UNC grad and fan, let me just say that I encourage Wilson to go pro in baseball before he gets seriously hurt on the football field and loses a promising career.

Wilson seems awfully injury prone. It's got to weigh on his mind when he considers his future baseball career.

I heard that there are already conversations going on about him going 100% baseball.
Just talk around the campfire. If he does, he'll be missed. Hopefully Glennon can step in and fill those mighty big shoes!

Thanks, Deacons.
Although, I'd prefer to be right about my feelings about State basketball this year. ;)

I am glad TOB kept him put of the game after he got hurt, I know many thought he should have gone back in but that was too risky for a bowl game. By the way, TBK is exactly right about the grammar discussion.
