Just so I'm not the last one to ask, what's the status of NC State's Lorenzo Brown? Over at BackingThePack.com, Akula Wolf gives us an update...
While Lorenzo Brown assured people via his Twitter account that he'll be back soon, it is entirely unclear just how soon soon is. That's the problem with these sorts of injuries. No qualifying the soon-ness. Based on the fact that Brown was wearing a boot on Wednesday, well, the odds of his playing against Miami on Saturday do not seem very good.
They also linked this tweet from Seth Davis of CBS Sports...
Mark Gottfried texted that Lorenzo Brown will be gametime decision Sat vs Miami but will "prob not" play. I'd be shocked if he didn't try.

The chances of Brown playing on Saturday against Miami aren't looking good. Make sure to check out ACC Live on the ACC Digital Network at noon today and I'll give you Game Sim's prediction with and without Brown in the lineup for the Pack.
While we're on injury updates, here's the latest I've seen on Ryan Kelly from Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports.
I'm told he's still weeks away. RT @laurakeeley: #Duke will be without Wake killer Ryan Kelly tonight. Still in boot, walking with crutches.
