Inside the Hurricanes' week: Miami loses Toney, then gets handed its first loss of the season

Miami’s perfect season was derailed by a high ankle sprain to star receiver Malachi Toney. Darian Mensah had been working with Toney after practice on quick, 15-yard throws, and the routine continued Tuesday before Miami prepared for Notre Dame. The injury happened Wednesday during lighter “shells” work against scout-team players when Toney went up for a pass and landed awkwardly, driving him into immediate pain and evaluation at Miami’s on-campus medical center. The team confirmed a high ankle sprain, ruling Toney out for multiple weeks. Without him, Miami lost 31-24 to Notre Dame, after falling behind 24-3. Toney missed the game and underwent ankle surgery in South Florida.
