Malachi Toney injury ends Heisman Trophy chances, expected back for CFP

Miami Hurricanes star wide receiver Malachi Toney suffered an ankle injury during Wednesday’s practice, casting doubt over his availability for Saturday’s critical road matchup against Notre Dame. The sophomore, who leads Power 5 conference receivers with 73 catches for 1,027 yards and 13 touchdowns this season, will undergo further medical evaluation.

His absence would significantly impact Miami’s offense, which has powered the Hurricanes to an undefeated 8-0 start and a No. 1 ranking in the inaugural College Football Playoff standings.

Toney’s status remains uncertain, though team officials have indicated he is expected to return in time for the postseason if cleared by medical staff.
