 Draft Scout College Football Player News


  Malachi Toney, the star receiver for top-ranked Miami and a Heisman Trophy candidate, has been scheduled for surgery to address a high ankle sprain and will be sidelined for multiple weeks, a person with knowledge of the matter said Wednesday night. The initial timeline for Toney's recovery won't be known until after the surgery, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the player nor the school revealed those details publicly. It is a huge blow to the Hurricanes (8-0, No. 1 College Football Playoff), who play a showdown game at No. 4 Notre Dame (7-1, No. 11 CFP) on Saturday - and now will do so without one of the nation's most dynamic players.

The injury is believed to be a high ankle sprain, and it's not uncommon for athletes with that issue to undergo surgery in an effort to speed the timeline of healing. Recovery periods vary widely, but it would seem very possible that Toney could return at some point this season. Earlier Wednesday, the Hurricanes confirmed that Toney suffered an ankle injury in practice that morning. In a statement, Miami's athletic department said Toney was "undergoing further evaluation by the team's medical staff," adding that it will share further updates as appropriate. Toney has dealt with ankle issues at times this season without missing any games - until now. The Hurricanes don't have a bye week for the rest of the regular season; they play Notre Dame this week, then finish with home games against Duke (Nov. 14), Virginia Tech (Nov. 21) and Boston College (Nov. 28). If Miami makes the Atlantic Coast Conference title game - the Hurricanes would have to lose at least two of their final three league contests to not qualify - it would play again Dec. 5. The national playoff starts on Dec. 18; if the Hurricanes earn a top-four seed in that event it wouldn't begin CFP play until Dec. 30 at the earliest. - AP College Football
