Boston College's Jonathan Hilliman: "Close to game-ready" for Saturday

Hilliman (ankle) "looks close to game-ready" for Boston College's matchup with North Carolina State this weekend, Julian Benbow of the Boston Globe reports.

Analysis:

The Eagles' top running back was sidelined for last week's game due to an ankle injury, but the Boston Globe's report suggests that he could be back on the field this week. He should still be considered questionable for now, but an update on his status should be made available when BC takes the field for warmups. If he's ultimately unable to play, Davon Jones would likely draw the start against the Wolf Pack.
