Projected First Rounder Leaves Field With Upper Body Injury at Wake Forest
In this story:
The Miami Hurricanes continue to have an injury bug problem, with another star defensive player going down early in the season.
It's another shoulder injury for the Canes as Ahmad Moten Sr. goes down in the first defensive drive of the game at Wake Forest.
Moten has battled injuries throughout the College Football Playoff and during Spring and Fall Camp. Moten is arguably the best defensive lineman Miami has, and without him and two other starting cornerbacks on the field, Miami's defense continues to get drained game after game.
Miami will have to adjust without him, with transfer players and needing a great performance from Damon Wilson II, who is due.
The Hurricanes will also need more than Wilson to step up. They have to avoid another freaky ACC Friday.
2nd Quarter: The Hurricanes have Moten back on the field and it instantly plugged up the run defense.
This story will be updated.
