The Hurricanes' top receiver hurt his ankle in practice ahead of Saturday's matchup with Notre Dame.
Miami receiver Malachi Toney is dealing with an ankle injury that puts his availability for Saturday's game against Notre Dame in doubt, according to sources.
Toney has been Miami's most dangerous offensive weapon this season, and his status looms large over what is shaping up as the Hurricanes' biggest game of the year. The injury reportedly occurred in practice this week, leaving coaches and teammates waiting to see whether he can suit up.
No official word has come from Miami on a timetable or severity, and the program has not announced a decision on his game status. Until then, the uncertainty hangs over preparations for a matchup that carries heavy stakes for both programs.
Miami will need to plan for the possibility of playing without its top target, while still hoping Toney can work his way back in time for kickoff.
