CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - North Carolina receiver Brandon Tate left the 22nd-ranked Tar Heels’ game against Notre Dame in the first quarter Saturday with a sprained right knee and wasn’t expected to return.
The Atlantic Coast Conference’s leader in all-purpose yardage was hurt while returning a punt late in the quarter.
Doctors examined his right knee on the sideline and he walked to the locker room under his own power.
Team officials said early in the second quarter that Tate would not return.
It took a while for the light bulb to go on, but when it did, Jonas Gray finally showed the talent many had expected from the blue-chip prospect from Detroit. In a recent interview, Gray, who is rehabbing an ACL injury to get ready for the NFL Scouting Combine, expressed the confidence and support he has for head coach Brian Kelly.
