Duke junior cornerback Leon Wright will miss the remainder of the season with a left hamstring injury, the school announced on Thursday.
"We learned today that Leon will miss our final five games," coach David Cutcliffe stated in a release. "This news is very disappointing because he is a young man of excellent character who has a great understanding of what it takes to compete in our conference. We certainly will miss his contributions on the field and wish him the best in recovery."
Wright first injured his hamstring at Georgia Tech on Oct. 4. After sitting out Duke's Oct. 18 game at Miami, he re-injured it this past Saturday in Duke's 10-7 win at Vanderbilt.
Wright had 12 tackles, four pass breakups, one forced fumble and one interception this season.
