TCU Reveals Status Of Star WR Ahead of Highly Anticipated Season Opener
TCU will play without one of their biggest offensive weapons in the season opener against North Carolina on Saturday.
TCU will face North Carolina in their season opener without a key offensive player. Fifth-year wide receiver Jordan Dwyer will miss the game against North Carolina due to a foot injury, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. Dwyer, who transferred to TCU from Idaho as a senior, was leading the team as their top returning receiver last season, catching 54 passes for 730 yards and seven touchdowns.
His absence will be a significant setback for TCU's offense. Meanwhile, North Carolina will also be without a major player this season. The team's defensive coordinator, Steve Belichick, has been on indefinite medical leave since August 6 and will miss the opener. UNC head coach Bill Belichick, Jordan Dwyer's father, is expected to call defensive plays for the Tar Heels in his absence.
The much-anticipated game between TCU and North Carolina is scheduled to kick off at 12 pm ET at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.
