Miami receiver Malachi Toney injured in Clemson game. What we know

Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Malachi Toney briefly left the game vs Clemson with an injury. Here's what we know.

Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney suffered a shoulder injury during Saturday's game against Clemson. In the third quarter, Toney dove for a pass from Darian Mensah and scored a first down, but immediately after the play, he left the field favoring his left shoulder. Toney, a sophomore, had set Miami receiving records in the previous season with 109 catches for 1,211 yards and 10 touchdowns, including one rushing score and two passing touchdowns.

This season, the 19-year-old has been the primary offensive player for the Canes, recording 34 catches for 564 yards and six touchdowns as of mid-October. After a brief time on the field, Toney returned to make a fourth-down catch between two defenders for another first down, which contributed to Miami's 24-6 halftime lead. Earlier in the game against Wake Forest on September 18, Toney also experienced upper-body discomfort, coming out of the game multiple times to make catches.

In the Clemson game, additional injuries were reported: guard Max Buchanan and tackle Matthew McCoy left the game with injuries, and leading edge rusher Marquise Lightfoot went to the locker room with an injury in the second quarter and did not return. The story will be updated further.
