N.C. State’s C.J. Clark is done for the year.
Clark posted on his social media accounts that he miss the remainder of the season and will undergo knee surgery. Clark missed the Clemson game after starting the first three contest of the season.
Already without linebacker Payton Wilson and safety Cyrus Fagan for the season due to injuries, starting nose guard Clark emerged from the Murphy Center onto the field Saturday before the Clemson game with a brace on his knee and crutches under his arm.
Clark had eight tackles and three quarterback hurries in the first three games.
He was replaced in the starting lineup by Florida State transfer Corey Durden. Durden (6-4, 310) had a monster game, finishing with six tackles and 1.5 sacks. Davin Vann also stepped up, finishing with half a sack versus the Tigers.
