Miami Star WR Toney Out for Season, Eyes Postseason Return
8 Nov
Summary
- Star receiver Malachi Toney likely out 4-6 weeks after ankle surgery.
- Toney leads ACC in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns.
- Heisman candidate Toney could return for ACC Championship or CFP.
No. 1 Miami's star receiver, Malachi Toney, is expected to miss four to six weeks following ankle surgery. This timeline suggests he will be sidelined for the remainder of the regular season.
The sophomore receiver's recovery is being closely monitored, with hopes for a return in time for the postseason. This could include the ACC Championship Game.
Prior to his injury, Toney was a strong Heisman Trophy contender, leading the ACC with 73 receptions, 1,027 receiving yards, and 13 touchdowns.
His absence places additional pressure on quarterback Darian Mensah and other receivers, such as Duke transfer Cooper Barkate, to maintain the team's high-scoring offense.
The Hurricanes face a challenging schedule, including a significant matchup against No. 11 Notre Dame, with Toney sidelined for the crucial month of November.
