Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 01:50 · Archive

Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney, a Heisman Trophy candidate, requires surgery for a high ankle sprain and will miss multiple weeks.

Malachi Toney, the star wide receiver for top-ranked Miami, suffered an ankle injury during practice on Wednesday morning. He has been scheduled for surgery to address a high ankle sprain and will be out for multiple weeks, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The injury is a significant blow to the Hurricanes, who are 8-0 and ranked No. 1 in the College Football Playoff. They face a showdown game against No. 4 Notre Dame on Saturday without one of the nation's most dynamic players.

The initial recovery timeline will not be known until after surgery. High ankle sprains sometimes require surgery to speed healing, and recovery periods vary widely. Toney has dealt with ankle issues earlier this season without missing games previously, but this injury will sideline him. Miami's athletic department confirmed he is undergoing further evaluation by the team's medical staff.
