NC State just released its injury report for the season opener at South Carolina, and cornerback DeAndre Morgan will miss the game with an ankle injury. Morgan, a redshirt junior who started 11 games last year, was listed as the backup to redshirt freshman C.J. Wilson. Obviously this is a significant loss for a group that was already filled with inexperience. True freshman Rashard Smith, of Dublin, Ga., will move into Morgan's spot.

Backup center Wayne Crawford will also be out with a foot injury. Andy Barbee will move into his spot. Here is the full report:

Mario Carter, TE - knee

Denzelle Good, OL - shoulder

Nate Irving, LB - leg

Colby Jackson, FB - knee
