The No. 1 Miami Hurricanes' Initial ACC Injury Report Before UNC

MIAMI, Fla. – Ahead of the No. 1 Miami Hurricanes' meeting with UNC at Chapel Hill (NC), the Atlantic Coast Conference released the initial injury report on Wednesday night.

It came out relatively clean for head coach Mario Cristobal, as the following six players ruled out are the usuals: Wide receiver Joshua Moore (Upper-Body; Out for Season), running back CharMar "Marty" Brown (Right Knee; Out for Season), cornerback Ja'Boree Antoine (Undisclosed), right guard Max Buchanan (Left Knee), cornerback Romanas "OJ" Frederique Jr. (Left Shoulder), and tight end Luka Gilbert (Undisclosed; Out for Season).

Freshman wide receiver Milan Parris was ruled out of last Saturday's 52-23 win over Pitt with an undisclosed injury. He was not listed on the initial injury report. Parris hasn't carved out a consistent role, playing just 54 offensive snaps through five games played out of seven.

Veteran cornerback Xavier Lucas wasn't listed either, despite leaving the game against the Panthers with an injury in an attempt to grab an interception. The Hurricanes' secondary has played a majority of the season banged up. It's been the biggest challenge for defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman, moving several pieces around.

The Tar Heels are without starting cornerback Tre Miller (undisclosed). The redshirt junior will be sidelined for a third consecutive game. Starting safety Peyton Waters (undisclosed), who hasn't played since facing Duke on Oct. 17, is listed as questionable. 

Starting left tackle Jordan Hall (undisclosed) has played in just four games this season, including last Saturday against Syracuse. The redshirt junior is listed as questionable. Finally, starting left guard Andrew Threatt (undisclosed) is listed as questionable while playing 30 snaps against Syracuse.

The rest of the Tar Heels listed as followed:

OUT: DL Viliami Moala, WR Keeyun Chapman, DL Vodney Cleveland, and DL Jimmy-Phrisco Alo-Suliafu

QUESTIONABLE: LB Jonathan Agumadu and DL Zavion Griffin-Haynes

Despite not being listed, Hurricanes star wide receiver Malachi Toney took a strong hit last Saturday against the Panthers. He played through and finished the rest of the game; however, it could encourage offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson to get others more involved. Cooper Barkate and Daylyn Upshaw have been consistent starters, alongside Toney.

The Hurricanes will need to keep bodies as healthy as possible entering the final stretch of the regular-season schedule. After this business trip is a prime-time rivarly matchup against Notre Dame. It's considered the Hurricanes' biggest test of the season.

However, the main focus for Cristobal is the Tar Heels, with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. E.T. and will be televised on ABC.
