North Carolina State says defensive tackle J.R. Sweezy will miss six weeks after breaking his foot.

The school issued a statement Sunday night saying Sweezy had surgery to repair the fracture. In keeping with team policy, N.C. State did not say which foot is broken.

Sweezy is a senior captain who had 13 tackles for losses and six sacks in 2010.
