Kevin Keatts provides injury update on Trey Parker
Parker, who took a hard fall in the Wolfpack’s win against Coastal Carolina, is day-to-day with a “deep bone bruise,” N.C. State coach Kevin Keatts said after N.C. State’s victory against Colgate on Monday.
“We had an MRI and it came back negative,” Keatts said. “But he’s incredibly sore. He took a nasty fall, so it’s gonna be day by day. … I have no idea when (Parker) is coming back. It’s nothing that, I hope, will keep (him) out for a long time.”
