Miami Will be Without Star Players Against Syracuse in Initial ACC Availability Report
In this story:
As the season gets longer, more players will continue to get injured, and for No. 18 Miami, it will be losing some of its top players ahead of the massive game against Syracuse.
Mario Cristobal was already concerned about multiple players during his weekly press conference, and now the first Initial ACC availability report has started to show some light on who those players will be.
The Hurricanes will be without star running back Mark Fletcher Jr., cornerback OJ Frederique Jr., and WR Tony Johnson, and will have several players listed as questionable as well.

CJ Daniels did not see the field last game and is questionable this game. Ahmad Moten Sr. had been a key piece for the Hurricanes in the middle of the defensive line, but he is hurt as well.
