Injuries still taking heavy toll on Miami
By Pete Conrad
The list of the Miami RedHawks’ walking wounded doesn’t seem to be getting any shorter.
The status of several players this week are “day by day,” according to head coach Michael Haywood, including that of co-captain Jordan Gafford, who has missed the last two games with a stinger.
Haywood said, in fact, that it’s likely that his strong safety won’t play in either of Miami’s last two games.
“It’s a huge loss,” Haywood said. “Jordan has damaged his shoulder and has really been struggling to regain the strength in his shoulder. There’s no reason to get a young man out there and hurt himself worse than what he is now. If we’re in a championship run, then maybe he plays.”
Sophomore offensive tackle Brandon Brooks didn’t practice on Sunday, Haywood said, and also is “day by day” with a shoulder injury, something which has hampered him “the last four or five weeks.”
Senior running back Andre Bratton (turf toe), who has played in only four games, did return to practice on Sunday. But defensive tackle D.J. Svabik, who has played in only two games, is out for the rest of the year, and senior defensive tackle Martin Channels, who has missed two games, and true freshman linebacker Evan Harris both are questionable.
