Laskey, Perkins out, Gamble in
Georgia Tech B-back Zach Laskey and A-back Charles Perkins will be held out of Saturday’s game at N.C. State due to shoulder and knee injuries, respectively. Both had returned to practice Wednesday, but were listed as out in Thursday’s injury report.
Defensive lineman Patrick Gamble, who suffered a left-leg injury in last Saturday’s game against Virginia and also returned to practice Wednesday, is not on the report and available to play. Gamble played a crucial role in the Yellow Jackets’ win over the Cavaliers, moving from defensive tackle to end and making his first career start. Gamble contributed two tackles and batted down a pass before his injury late in the game.
Laskey will miss his third consecutive game after injuring his shoulder against North Carolina. It will be Perkins’ second consecutive game sidelined, and third overall of the season, after his knee injury against Pittsburgh.
