No. 3 Miami Injury Update After Bye Week Heading into Florida State
In this story:
The Miami Hurricanes have been dealing with a few key injuries.
Four games into the season, if anyone is fully healthy, then the training staff needs a raise and national attention. For the Canes, they have battled the injury bug that has lingered since spring.
After the bye week, the Hurricanes look to get three players back who have been or gotten banged up in the first four games of the season. The key now is to make sure that everyone is 100 percent.
"We feel game five healthy. We have been close with a couple of guys that we talk about every week and we feel great about them this week and hopefully that plays out, but we do feel confident in the health of our team."Mario Cristobal on Team Health
On OL Samson Okunlola's injury:
Okunlola was banged up in the second half of the game, but according to Mario Cristobal, he is ready to go against No. 18 Florida State.
"He did well. He got banged up in that game pretty good. Had a great week of just resting, rehabbing, and looks really good. So we expect him to play well."Mario Cristobal
Jordan Lyle and WR Jojo Trader Status:
"They're all doing well. Same status. They will play at some point in time."Mario Cristobal
The Hurricanes have been waiting to add two of their Lamborghinis back into the offense. The issue of getting an opportunity when they haven't been fully healthy poses one of the biggest questions entering this game against the Seminoles.
The status has been that they have been ready to go, but they just haven't been used. They are game healthy, but when the team is thriving without them, risking their potential of truly being 100 percent is not going to be taken.
Both players are vital for this offense as they try to find more explosive players. The Canes already have big-time players, but the key now is to add depth, knowing that this season can easily turn around due to the lack of bodies around.
