Not expected to play opener Washington (undisclosed) is not expected to play in the season opener after being limited throughout training camp, according to Inside Carolina.
Impact Washington's likely absence leaves North Carolina without the Texas transfer tight end for Week 1. With Colorado State transfer Jaxxon Warren banged up as well, the latter reportedly for a significant period of time, Jelani Washington should take most of the reps at tight end. He's reportedly had an excellent fall camp and should be primed to be a big part of this offense.

Expected to play key role in offense Thurman is expected to be a key part of the Tar Heels' offense in 2026, per Noah Weiskopf of 247Sports.
Impact Thurman has reportedly had an excellent camp and is expected to play a "vital" role in the Tar Heels' offense. Especially with fellow tight ends Jordan Washington and Jaxxon Warren banged up, the latter reportedly dealing with a serious injury, this room is Thurman's to dominate. Last fall in Columbus, the 6-6, 245-pound tight end posted seven catches for 84 yards and one touchdown.

Expected to miss serious time Warren (undisclosed) has suffered a serious injury and is expected to be out for an extended period of time, per Spencer Haskell of Inside Carolina.
Impact Warren sounds as if he's going to miss a serious chunk of time. There was hope the Colorado State transfer could be a big, athletic target in this offense for the Tar Heels, but now he's without a timetable to even see the football field. Meanwhile, the rest of the tight end room in Chapel Hill has suffered some attrition as well, as Jordan Washington (undisclosed) is also not expected to be available for the season opener in Dublin against TCU.
