Markus Kuhn will miss Georgia Tech game with knee injury

NC State released their injury report Thursday afternoon for the Georgia Tech game. Redshirt junior defensive tackle Markus Kuhn will miss the game Saturday with a knee injury.

Kuhn was suspended for the season opener against Western Carolina. He's had three tackles in 28 plays as a reserve in the Central Florida and Cincinnati games, including a tackle for a three-yard loss against UCF. Kuhn's absence likely means that redshirt freshman Darryl Cato-Bishop will step into the defensive tackle rotation. Cato-Bishop assisted on a tackle against Central Florida.

Redshirt junior offensive tackle Mikel Overgaard, who started the first two games of the season, will miss his second consecutive game with an elbow injury he suffered during the Central Florida contest.

Sophomore cornerback Jarvis Byrd and sophomore running back James Washington continue to be listed as out. Byrd tore his ACL in the 2009 season-finale against North Carolina, and Washington suffered a hamstring injury in the preseason.
