UNC receiver T.J. Thorpe watches practice in a boot – and other personnel notes

Senior OT Brennan Williams and freshman defensive end Justin Thomason continued to wear the orange/red jerseys that signify limited participation in practice. Sr. offensive guard Peyton Jenest was in orange, too. Sophomore receivers Reggie Wilkins and Sean Tapley were not present at practice. They would likely play a role in replacing T.J. Thorpe in the kick return game. (Raleigh News & Observer)
