Miami gets some of its depth back with Willis’ first game in a Hurricanes uniform Saturday but loses defensive tackle Courtel Jenkins who tore his meniscus against FAMU. Jenkins had surgery on Wednesday and the hope is that he will be able to return by the October 1 ACC opener against Georgia Tech.
Willis and Owens are both listed second on the depth chart this week. Willis is listed behind sophomore defensive tackle Kendrick Norton and Owens is behind the Will or weakside linebacker Michael Pinckney.
Fifth-year senior starting right cornerback Adrian Colbert will also miss the game against Florida Atlantic with a torn meniscus.
