‘Crushing:’ UNC vs. Charlotte football game canceled due to coronavirus contact tracing BY DAVID SCOTT SEPTEMBER 17, 2020 10:10 AM , UPDATED 51 MINUTES AGO
In what was a “crushing” decision, the Charlotte 49ers game at 12th-ranked North Carolina on Saturday has been canceled due to a contact tracing quarantine on the 49ers’ offensive line.
According to a statement released by the 49ers, several members of the offensive line are in quarantine following UNC Charlotte’s COVID-19 contact tracing protocols. That effectively decimated the number of offensive linemen the 49ers would have had available for Saturday’s game against the Tar Heels.
“I was hoping that a couple of injured guys may be able to suit up for us,” 49ers coach Will Healy said on the SEC Network’s “Paul Finebaum Show.” “But I didn’t feel good about that. We wanted to do everything humanly possible to play the game, but ultimately we ran out of options.”
