Warren listed as probable vs. N.C. State

Virginia Tech center Beau Warren, who has missed the past two games with a left knee injury, was listed as probable to play Saturday against North Carolina State.

Warren, a fourth-year junior, practiced this week in a blue, non-contact jersey and on Monday described his condition as day-to-day. He said his knee felt better each day.

Warren suffered a Grade II sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee against North Carolina on Oct. 29. His leg was pinned underneath a pile near the Tar Heels’ goal line in the third quarter; he did not return to the game.

“I heard a pop,” Warren said of his knee. “So I was like, ‘Well, it’s probably torn.’ "

Warren’s return would make Virginia Tech’s offensive line whole again. In Warren’s absence, redshirt freshman Michael Via has started each of the past two games at center. Warren had started every game before the injury.
