NC State football linebacker Payton Wilson was injured in the third quarter of the Wolfpack’s 24-17 win against Clemson on Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. 

With NC State up 24-7, Wilson went down and limped off the field as he made his way to the medical tent on the Wolfpack sideline. The ACC’s leader in tackles at 11.6 per game, Wilson had an interception return for a touchdown that extend State’s lead to double digits before he exited later in the period. 

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Wilson emerged from the tent with a brace on his right leg. He jogged up and down the sideline and put his helmet on, but didn’t return to the game.
