The depth for the Miami football team has been drained over the last week. Wide receivers Jeff Thomas, Brian Hightower and Tate Martell will not be in Pittsburgh, linebacker Michael Pinckney is out, DeeJay Dallas is a game-time decision and quarterbacks N’Kosi Perry and Jarren Williams have injured shoulders.
Thomas is serving the second of a two-game suspension, Hightower announced his decision to enter the transfer portal and Martell is taking a reported medical leave of absence. Pinkney is out and will be replaced by senior linebacker Zach McCloud. McCloud can play Saturday and still maintain his redshirt season.
