MINNEAPOLIS — North Carolina quarterback Max Johnson left the season opener at Minnesota with an injury to his right leg in the third quarter of his debut with the Tar Heels. He was taken to a hospital for further examination. Johnson transferred from Texas A&M and won the job to replace third overall NFL draft pick Drake Maye. He was hurt when his leg bent awkwardly while being taken to the ground on a blitz by Justin Walley. Johnson immediately clutched his right leg and stayed down for several minutes. He was taken off on a cart.
