Jabari Price Injury: UNC CB Has Surgery To Repair Tendon In Left Hand
North Carolina cornerback Jabari Price is out for at least six weeks as he recovers from surgery on his left hand.
The injury to the sophomore cornerback has forced a shuffle at the position. To fill in during Price's absence, junior Todd Harrelson has switched sides on the field and moved from wide receiver to cornerback, a position he played in high school.
Price's fellow sophomore, Tre Boston, is also playing cornerback again, though he was slated to be the free safety this season. According to other reports from practice, freshman Tony Scott is playing with the first-team defense at cornerback with Boston. The Tar Heels begin their season Sept. 3 with a home game against James Madison.
