Miami coach Mario Cristobal delivered some good news regarding the Canes’ injury situation on Wednesday morning.
Cristobal identified a number of key players who are dealing with injuries, but are now expected to play vs. North Carolina this weekend.
That list includes running back Henry Parrish Jr., running back Jaylan Knighton, cornerback Tyrique Stevenson and defensive back Daryl Porter Jr. All 4 of those players practiced on Wednesday and are set to play vs. UNC, per Cristobal:
The news isn’t as promising for offensive tackle Zion Nelson. Cristobal told reporters earlier in the week that Nelson didn’t play vs. Middle Tennessee due to a setback in his recovery from offseason knee surgery.
Nelson, who did play vs. Texas A&M back in September, is a game-time decision vs. North Carolina this week.
Miami is a favorite over North Carolina this week. The winner of this game will be in the driver’s seat to win the Coastal division title.
Kickoff is at 4 p.m. ET.
