T.J. Yates injures thumb playing ultimate frisbee
Posted Apr 25, 2009
UNC quarterback T.J. Yates made it through spring practice unscathed, but an impromptu game of Ultimate Frisbee proved rougher. Yates sprained his right thumb playing Ultimate Frisbee during a team activity session on Wednesday in Chapel Hill, a UNC spokesman said Friday. Yates and UNC coach Butch Davis were not available for comment. Yates will need six weeks to rehabilitate his throwing hand and will have to wear a splint.
