Grayson McCall - Released from the hospital McCall has been released from the hospital after all tests came back normal.
Impact McCall, who was carted off early in the first quarter against Wake Forest with what looked to be a scary injury, is in good spirits after his testing and scans all came back normal Saturday afternoon. The 6-foot-3 senior quarterback's injury status remains uncertain, but this is good news for the Wolfpack after McCall was down on the field for an extended period of time. McCall completed 3-of-5 passes for 42 yards prior to exiting, bringing his season total to 518 yards (53-of-80). McCall's injury status will continue to be monitored ahead of next week's game against Syracuse.

Grayson McCall - Taken to hospital McCall was taken to the hospital after suffering an injury during Saturday's game versus Wake Forest, per R. Cory Smith of 247sports.com reports.
Impact Head coach Dave Doeren said the reports from the hospital were positive for McCall. In his absence, CJ Bailey filled in at quarterback and will serve as the team's starter going forward if McCall is forced to miss an extended period of time.

Grayson McCall - Suffers injury in first quarter McCall sustained an injury in the first quarter of Saturday's game against Wake Forest and had to be carted off the field, R. Cory Smith of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact McCall was down on the ground and not moving in what looked like a scary injury for the fifth-year senior who was just making his return from a two-game absence. It's safe to say McCall will not return Saturday and has been replaced by CJ Bailey.

Hollywood Smothers - Won't play vs. Deacs Smothers (undisclosed) is out against Wake Forest, Noah Fleischman of On3Sports reports.
Impact Smothers missed last week against NIU, and he's set to miss his second straight game. The tailback has been moderately involved this season, tallying 22 carries for 114 yards and a score. His absence means Jordan Waters and Kendrick Raphael should lead the way in the backfield for the Wolfpack.
OCTOBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Dacari Collins - Won't play Saturday Collins is inactive for Saturday's game against Wake Forest, Noah Fleischman of On3Sports reports.
Impact Collins notably only played 29 snaps against Northern Illinois and did not receive a single target. It's unclear what exactly is holding him out, but Noah Rogers will have a bigger role after totaling a career-high 48 yards last week.
OCTOBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
CJ Bailey - Not starting Saturday Bailey won't start in Saturday's matchup versus Wake Forest.
Impact Bailey will return to his backup duties as Grayson McCall is healthy and starting once again. Throughout the three games Bailey played, he completed 42 of 65 of his pass attempts for 469 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
OCTOBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Grayson McCall - In line to start McCall (undisclosed) is expected to start Saturday against Wake Forest, The Wolfpacker reports.
Impact McCall was seen warming up and now is expected to start after missing the last two games. CJ Bailey will return to backup duties. McCall threw for 476 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions before getting hurt.
OCTOBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Grayson McCall - Spotted going through warmups McCall (undisclosed) was spotted going through pre-game warm-ups, On3.com reports.
Impact McCall hasn't played since Week 3, with true freshman CJ Bailey taking the reins for the Wolfpack in his stead. It's unclear what McCall's status is, as he also warmed up last week before ultimately not playing. If McCall can't go, expect Bailey to notch his third straight start.

Grayson McCall - Off Week 6 depth chart McCall (undisclosed) is not on the depth chart for Saturday's game versus Wake Forest, Bryan Pyrtle of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Backup quarterback CJ Bailey has been announced as the starter for the game as well, making it very unlikely that McCall will suit up. The senior play caller has not seen the field since Week 3 against Louisiana Tech, where he suffered an undisclosed injury.
OCTOBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
CJ Bailey - Slated to start once again Bailey will get the start for North Carolina State in Week 6 against Wake Forest, Bryan Pyrtle of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Bailey has started the last two games for the Wolfpack as well, and he'll continue to be North Carolina State's top gunslinger as Grayson McCall (undisclosed) continues to work his way back from injury. Bailey been quiet statistically even as a starter, tossing for just 108 yards last week.

NC State vs. Wake Forest Prediction, Odds, Picks - October 5, 2024
Kevin Concepcion - Strange stat-line in win Concepcion notched four receptions (on eight targets) for four yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-17 win over Northern Illinois.
Impact Concepcion has certainly suffered from NC State's quarterback situation, but his stat-line against NIU was one of the strangest on the season. His four catches only notched him four yards, but he still managed to haul in a touchdown. Concepcion remains extremely talented and dangerous as a wideout, but with CJ Bailey playing quarterback for the Wolfpack, this offense has been rather quiet.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Noah Rogers - Leading receiver in win Rogers caught 2 of 3 targets for 48 yards during Saturday's 24-17 victory against Northern Illinois.
Impact It was an extremely quiet day through the air, but Rogers reeled in the majority of NC State's passing yards in the win over NIU. Especially with true freshman CJ Bailey at quarterback, the Wolfpack's passing offense isn't all that attractive for fantasy purposes.
