Demond Claiborne Injury: Won't return due to rib injury

Claiborne won't return to Friday's game against Kennesaw State due to a rib injury, Conor O'Neill of Rivals.com reports.

Claiborne suffered the injury in the first half and was deemed unavailable to return for the second half. That's a huge loss for Wake Forest, as he was expected to lead the rushing attack for the Demon Deacons. Ty Clark and JaMario Clements are expected to shoulder the backfield load in the absence of Claiborne.
