There is no additional information regarding the nature of these players' injuries or their severity as of yet.

So it appears Brennan Armstrong will be missing three of his top receiving targets against the 17th-ranked Tar Heels. Thompson, Wicks, and Davis account for 1,380 of Virginia's 1,826 receiving yards so far this season. 

Billy Kemp IV, Demick Starling, Sean Wilson, Luke Wentz and Ethan Davies are in line to move up on the depth chart due to these late scratches. Tony Elliott previously reported this week that starting running back Perris Jones will also be out with an injury. Mike Hollins is expected to get the start at running back.

Virginia is set to kickoff against North Carolina at 12pm at Scott Stadium and the game will be broadcast on the ACC Network.
