CHAPEL HILL -- In addition to safety Matt Merletti, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last Saturday at Clemson, UNC will be without three other players this week against Wake Forest.
Tar Heel coach Everett Withers said Thursday that kicker Casey Barth (groin), receiver Reggie Wilkins (ankle) and tight end Sean Fitzpatrick (head) will sit out Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. game in Kenan Stadium.
Fullback Curtis Byrd, who has been slowed by a knee problem of late, will be available, Withers said.
