Tar Heels lose CB Shankle to torn ACL

It's not like North Carolina needs to lose another football player, but Monday came more bad news for the Tar Heels. Cornerback Terry Shankle tore the ACL in his left knee in the Tar Heels' 21-17 victory over William & Mary, the school announced.

Shankle, a redshirt freshman from Norwood, N.C., will have surgery to repair his ACL in the next few weeks.  He is out for the the rest of the season.  Shankle had eight tackles and one pass break up this year.
