N.C. State took a hit to the wider receiver unit this week. Juniors Donald Bowens and Darrell Davis will both miss the entire 2009 spring practice session as they recover from surgery.
Bowens unfortunately missed the entire 2008 season with a back injury, and now other injuries are plaguing the wide-out. On Wednesday he underwent reconstructive surgery on his knee.
In 2007, Bowens emerged as a top receiving threat for the Wolfpack. He recorded an 11 catch, 200 yard performance against Virginia. He had nearly 600 yards and four touchdowns on the season.
On Tuesday Davis had his posterior labral repaired. Davis was part of a young receiving corps that saw significant playing time in 2008 as a result of injuries. He caught six balls and scored a touchdown, while appearing in every game.
