North Carolina WR Tate undergoes surgery

Wed 15th, October 2008

Chapel Hill, NC (Sports Network) - North Carolina senior wide receiver Brandon Tate underwent successful surgery on his right knee Wednesday to repair a torn ACL and MCL.

The operation was performed by Dr. Tim Taft at UNC Hospitals.

"We were able to repair both damaged ligaments," Taft said. "I expect Brandon to make a full recovery and resume his playing career."

Tate, who was leading the Atlantic Coast Conference in all-purpose yards, was injured on a punt return in the first half of Saturday's 29-24 win over Notre Dame.

The Burlington, North Carolina native caught 16 passes for 376 yards and three touchdowns in six games this season.

The 18th-ranked Tar Heels (5-1, 1-1 ACC) travel to Virginia (3-3, 1-1) on Saturday.
