NC State Injury Bug Ahead of Syracuse Clash

NC State is grappling with a substantial injury list as they prepare for their upcoming matchup. The team has confirmed that Popo Aguirre, Ronnie Royal, and Will Wilson will be sidelined for the game. Further compounding their challenges, Harvey Dyson, Jaren Sensabaugh, and Rico Jackson are currently listed as questionable, and their availability is crucial for the Pack. On a more positive note, Keenan Jackson has been upgraded to probable, and Duke Scott and JoJo Trader are not among the injured players.

Syracuse is also contending with its own set of injury concerns, particularly along its offensive line. Starting guard Jayden Mann is out following an injury sustained last weekend. The team's starting left tackle, Trevion Mack, is questionable, and several other starters are reportedly dealing with nagging ankle issues. Additionally, the Syracuse defense could be without its leading tackler, linebacker Chris D'Appolonia, whose availability is uncertain.
