The Miami athletic department issued a press release on Thursday to announce that quarterback D’Eriq King will have surgery to repair a torn ACL and is expected back for the 2021 season opener.
Miami Hurricanes quarterback D’Eriq King tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, will have surgery to repair it and is expected to return for the 2021 season opener against Alabama in September. The eight-month timetable seems overly optimistic but recovery time has improved for ACL surgery.
D’Eriq King suffered the injury on Tuesday during the 37-34 Cheez-it Bowl loss to Oklahoma State.
