Week 5 is upon us and with conference matchups heating up around the country, the injury tally is climbing faster than Tim Tebow's Heisman rating. From No. 1 USC to No. 25-wanna-be Miami, everyone is dealing with something injury-related this week, but some news has been better than others.
While some professional players are busy faking injuries (see Bettis, Jerome), the University of Miami is trying to keep theirs as quiet as possible. Head coach Randy Shannon has told press that his most experienced tailback, senior Charlie Jones, will miss the first three games of the season, but he won't reveal any details on the injury or if surgery is required. If you found an unauthorized person with a video camera in your practice area, you might be tight-lipped, too.
We know that Miami quarterback Kyle Wright did not participate in Monday's scrimmage, but head coach Randy Shannon won't tell us why. Revealing only that Wright is one of several players who has been "nicked up," the injury is most likely a hyperextended left knee, says the Miami Herald - pain through which Wright is expected to play.
