Heels' Rice to miss rest of season

Posted Sep 5, 2007

Starting UNC linebacker Chase Rice will be sidelined for the rest of the season because of ligament damage in his left ankle, coach Butch Davis said Tuesday. Rice, a 6-foot-3 junior from Asheville, sustained the injury during the first half of Saturday's 37-14 victory over James Madison, leaving the game after posting a tackle and breaking up a pass that led to an interception. Freshman Bruce Carter, who blocked a punt against JMU, will start Saturday at East Carolina in place of Rice. (Raleigh News & Observer)
