Miami Star WR Malachi Toney Has a High Ankle Sprain and Needs Surgery, AP Source Says
A person with knowledge said the Heisman contender will miss multiple weeks, and Miami said the initial recovery timeline will be set after surgery.
- On Wednesday, Miami Hurricanes star wide receiver Malachi Toney suffered a high ankle sprain during practice and is scheduled for TightRope surgery, sidelining him for the remainder of the regular season.
- Toney accounts for 35% of Miami's catches, 39% of receiving yards, and 46% of touchdowns this season, helping the sophomore emerge as a Heisman Trophy contender alongside quarterback Darian Mensah.
- Graduate transfer Cooper Barkate has 28 catches for 372 yards and four touchdowns, while redshirt freshman Daylyn Upshaw contributed 22 receptions for 263 yards and two scores to sustain Miami's offense.
- Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman downplayed the loss, saying "I'm not saying one person's going to replace Malachi Toney, but they've got a lot of great players on their team."
- With six weeks until the College Football Playoff begins, Toney's TightRope surgery aims to accelerate recovery, potentially allowing the star receiver to return if the Hurricanes advance to the postseason.
