"I think his status is okay. We've got to be careful with him because he's a good player," Grobe said of Noel. "He wanted to practice yesterday (Tuesday) and we wouldn't let him practice, so it wasn't a deal where he couldn't." Noel tweaked his hamstring while returning kickoffs Monday evening and he had some soreness in the back of his leg Tuesday, which helped motivate the Wake Forest coaches and medical staff to hold him out of practice.
