Four North Carolina players have been suspended one game for violating team policy, coach Larry Fedora announced on Wednesday.

Lawrence and Walker are starting cornerbacks, while Stewart and Miles are top backups in the secondary.

UNC Football Recruiting: Defensive Update

Notice of the suspensions comes one day after Yahoo Sports reported that UNC is investigating a hazing incident among members of the football team.

The school announced in June that the NCAA has re-opened its investigation into alleged academic fraud involving Tar Heels football and men's basketball players.

The Tar Heels went 7-6 in 2013 and open the upcoming season Saturday at home against Liberty.
