Below is the full report, which also includes NC State's unavailable players:

The initial availability report for both Virginia Tech and NC State from Thursday.

Some of the injury news is evident — such as Meadows, who was sighted on Sept. 17 on a scooter and his foot a cast. Montgomery stated that day that Meadows is likely out for the season. However, other players' status health-wise remains unknown. The ACC's availability report is just that: an availability report. it doesn't go in-depth on explaining the reasoning behind the absences and answers the pure question of who's out and who remains a question for Saturday.

Several players have seen limited snaps, but the standouts are Reddish, Brown, Woodson and Saint Germain. Reddish and Woodson both are true juniors, while Brown is a redshirt senior and Saint Germain, a redshirt junior.

Heath stands to benefit the most. He opened the season as Virginia Tech’s starting slot receiver against South Carolina but hasn’t seen the field since. His return provides a potential boost to the passing game and offers at least one positive development. Another possible one is that there could be a boost to an offensive line that is still in recovery mode.

Ghannam, Muskrat and Garrett are all listed as questionable. Garrett has been sidelined since suffering a knee injury against Vanderbilt, while Muskrat has yet to log a single snap this season. Two further reports will follow: one tomorrow, then a third and final report two hours before kickoff.

Virginia Tech football will kick off its Week 5 clash with N.C. State on Saturday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. ET; viewing for the game will be available on the CW Network.
