Andre Ellington injury

Ellington went out after his 1st carry last night @ Duke, which went for 26 yds.
After checking Tigernet and a couple other sites, all I can find out is it was a hamstring injury. No details on how serious. One post on Tigernet said that he was able to come back by the 2nd half last night but since the game was in hand there was no need to risk furthering the injury. Anybody have a more detailed report?

Not yet, but it's likely a tweak. If the coaches are smart, they'll rest him this weekend and let Hot Rod, DJ, and Brooks platoon against Muhrland so he's closer to 100% for NC State and SCar. Hell, if those three do the same this weekend as they did up in Durham, why not rest Ellington for NC State too?

I agree with resting him the next 2 games. No reason we shouldn't be able to handle MD and NCSt. without him.
