Nate Irving said he doesn’t remember anything about the crash that ended his junior football season.

Irving stood in front of a throng of reporters at N.C. State’s Murphy Center office complex Thursday to announce that he won’t play football this season because of injuries suffered in a June 28 car crash.

After meeting with a doctor Thursday, N.C. State linebacker Nate Irving announced that he will be out for the season because of injuries suffered in a car crash on June 28.

Irving, who was scheduled to be a junior this season, led the team with four interceptions last season and made 84 tackles despite missing three games because of injury.

Attention to detail and limiting mistakes will be key objectives Thursday as N.C. State takes the field for its second preseason scrimmage.

"We’re going to play a little more of a game situation," coach Tom O’Brien said.

N.C. State linebacker Nate Irving will meet with a doctor Thursday to learn more about the status of his broken leg, coach Tom O’Brien said Monday during the team’s media day news conference.

Irving also suffered a broken rib and collapsed lung in a June 28 car crash. He has seen doctors to have those injuries evaluated, and the leg injury is what’s left to be examined.

GREENSBORO — Linebacker Nate Irving's key doctor appointment isn't scheduled until mid-August, but the N.C. State coaching staff has had to develop a contingency plan for his absence.

Coach Tom O'Brien revealed on Monday that Irving's broken leg was a compound fracture, and that his collapsed lung came as a result of being pierced by a broken rib in a car crash in late June. These are serious injuries that will take time to overcome, even though O'Brien has deemed Irving's football status as "out indefinitely" until he knows the results of the August appointment.

Injuries suffered in a car crash in June have N.C. State linebacker Nate Irving out indefinitely, coach Tom O’Brien said Thursday afternoon.

During his first public media appearance since the June 28 crash, O’Brien said he won’t know more about Irving’s status until after the player’s next meeting with doctors in mid-August.

N.C. State linebacker Nate Irving was released from the hospital Friday, school sports information director Annabelle Myers said in an e-mail on Monday.

Irving had been taken to the WakeMed Trauma Center in Raleigh after suffering a fractured leg and a collapsed lung in a one-car wreck before dawn on June 28.

N.C. State linebacker Nate Irving's surgery was successful and went as expected on Sunday after he suffered a broken leg and collapsed lung in a car crash early Sunday morning, school sports information director Annabelle Myers said Monday morning.

N.C. State linebacker Nate Irving was scheduled for surgery Sunday evening after suffering non-life-threatening injuries in a car crash on Saturday night.

Irving has a broken leg and collapsed lung and was taken to Wake Med Trauma Center according to a statement released by the school.

N.C. State coach Tom O'Brien said Wednesday that he doesn't know how much linebacker Nate Irving will play Thursday night against Florida State.

Irving, who has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, is listed as probable, which means he has a 75 percent chance of playing against the Seminoles.
