  North Carolina Coach Mack Brown said senior receiver Antoine Green will miss the next six to 10 weeks due to a shoulder injury suffered over the weekend. The announcement is a cause for concern for the Tar Heels who were already inexperienced at receiver. "We get Antoine Green hurt on Saturday, it was a hitch and he turned inside and he got hit just running," Brown said. "So now he's out for six to 10 weeks. Hopefully on the six side of that - we're 20 days from (the season opener), hopefully, he'll be back by Notre Dame." Brown said Green had surgery on Sunday and was back sitting in on team meetings on Monday.

Green was second on the team behind Josh Downs with 31 receptions and 612 yards with five touchdowns last season. His best performances came over the final six games when he caught 20 passes including a 108-yard, two-touchdown outing at Pittsburgh. With Green out, Justin Olson has the most receptions from last season of the remaining receivers. Olson, a sophomore, played in every game but caught just nine passes for 143 yards and a score. But Brown said he wasn't going to make excuses for their inexperience. "Injuries happen, it could have happened in the first quarter of the first game," Brown said. "So you've got JJ Jones; you've got Dre Greene; you've got Gavin Blackwell; you've got Kobe Paysour; you've got Doc Chapman, Justin Olson. We've got to make sure that we get them enough work to get them in shape, and not get them so much running - because they're thinner - that they get dead legs." - Raleigh News Observer
