Wake Forest Demon Deacons wide receiver Donavon Greene will be on the shelf for three to five months with a knee injury he suffered on the opening day of practice, the school announced Monday.
Greene, who entered the season as the Deacons’ No.1 receiver, finished second on the team last season with a career-high 642 yards and six touchdown receptions. He led the team with a 17.4-yard average per catch.
This is the second significant injury of Greene’s collegiate career. He also missed all of the 2021 campaign with an injury.
Wake Forest has depth at the receiver position with Jahmal Banks, Taylor Morin, Wesley Grimes and Ke’Shawn Williams, but losing the 6-foot-2, 210-pound Greene could greatly affect the team’s ability to stretch the field deep.
