    Rob Crisp granted medical redshirt

    North Carolina State offensive tackle Rob Crisp will return after missing nearly all season with a concussion.

    Crisp was hurt in the second game. Coach Dave Doeren said Monday that the senior, who hadn't taken a redshirt year, was granted a medical redshirt for last season.

    Doeren said the team is trying to get a sixth year for safety Jarvis Byrd, who tore a knee ligament for the third time in his career last year at Wake Forest.

    RB Ryan Green has shoulder surgery

    Running back depth was a question for Florida State entering the spring, but the Seminoles won't be able to ascertain much until August following the latest string of injuries at the position.

    Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher announced Monday sophomore running back Ryan Green will miss the remainder of the spring with a shoulder injury. Green, seen with his right arm in a sling at Monday's scrimmage, had surgery the shoulder within the last week. Fisher did not disclose what specifically Green injured, electing to just call it a shoulder injury.

    As a true freshman in 2013, Green played sparingly, rushing for 163 yards on 33 carries. This spring, he was competing for the backup running back spot behind starter Karlos Williams, and Fisher spent the first two weeks praising the 5-foot-10, 195-pound sophomore.

    Ryan Williams expects to play in '14

    Miami quarterback Ryan Williams, the leading candidate to start for the Hurricanes this fall, had surgery for a torn right ACL on Wednesday that "could not have gone better," his mother told The Miami Herald.

    Williams' injury occurred Friday night during a noncontact drill in the second scrimmage of the spring. There still is no timetable for his return, although Jayne Williams told the Herald that the fifth-year senior expects to play in 2014 -- "he wants to play at Nebraska" and "finish his football career with his best friends and teammates."

    Jameis Winston safe on football side

    Two-sport star Jameis Winston, who was issued a civil citation on April 29 for shoplifting, will not face any punishment or suspensions that would impact him on the football field, Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said Monday.

    Winston, a reliever for the Seminoles' baseball team, was suspended last week from playing in a three-game series against Minnesota. He was reinstated to the team after completing 20 hours of community service. Winston was issued the citation after walking out of a Publix supermarket without paying for $32 worth of crab legs and crawfish.

    "If he would have been in football only, he would have been suspended from football activities only until we took care of all those things," Fisher said. "To him that's just as devastating [missing three baseball games]. To me too. I like baseball."

    Florida State suspends Jesus Wilson

    Florida State receiver Jesus Wilson has been suspended from the football team after facing a felony charge in the theft of a motor scooter, officials said Wednesday.

    Police say Wilson was stopped as he rode a motor scooter days after it was reported stolen on campus June 11. Wilson said a friend loaned him the vehicle. An investigation ensued, and Wilson was later arrested and charged with third-degree grand motor theft. He turned himself in Wednesday and was freed on $2,500 bond.

    FSU spokesman Rob Wilson said the athletics department's code of conduct forbids a player from representing the team when charged with a felony. Jesus Wilson is not eligible to play or travel, but can practice and is not automatically kicked off the team.
