N.C. State’s Russell Wilson has a tear of the posterior cruciate ligament in his knee that will require several weeks of limited activities followed by rehabilitation, the school announced Tuesday.
School sports information director Annabelle Myers said Wilson’s status for the 2008 baseball season and spring football practice is uncertain. Doctors will have to see how he responds to treatment before deciding whether he can play. But the injury will not require surgery and Myers said it is not expected to keep the first-team All-ACC quarterback from playing football in the fall.
Wilson sprained his knee late in the second quarter during the Papajohns.com Bowl. The injury was diagnosed at halftime, and Wilson did not return in the second half. Wilson underwent an MRI this week that confirmed team doctors’ diagnosis of a sprain.
The 2008 ACC Rookie of the Year, Wilson finished the season with a streak of 249 passes without an interception, the longest active streak in the nation.

I Cant wait to see Glennon

Well, now we know it was bad

Hope Russell heels quickly and doesn't miss too much of the baseball season.
