Listed on unofficial two-deep
Lopez (back) is listed on UNC's unofficial two-deep ahead of Week 2 against Charlotte, per 247Sports.com.
ANALYSIS
Lopez is considered questionable this week after leaving the Tar Heels' Week 1 debacle of a loss to TCU in the second half with a back injury. Before the opener, North Carolina didn't drop a two-deep at all, and given that this one remains "unofficial" it should be taken with a grain of salt. This by no means that Lopez will play in Week 2, but it's a positive indicator that the quarterback's injury might not hold him out all that long.

Uncertain status for Week 2
Lopez (back) is uncertain to play against Charlotte on Saturday, head coach Bill Belichick told media, including Ben Sherman of On3.com, during Monday's post-game press conference. "Yeah, we'll see how Gio is. They took him off, took a look at him, hopefully it's not too bad, but we'll see. You know, give Max a lot of credit. He came in after being off for a long time, hung in there and made some plays in a tough situation. So give him a lot of credit for what he did tonight, but we'll take a look at it after we see where things are at it and go from there. I don't know. It's too early to tell now."
