Junior linebacker Michael Pinckney was seen on Wednesday evening limping and wearing a walking boot that extended to just below his left knee.
When reached for comment regarding Pinckney, UM athletics communications director Camron Ghorbi would only confirm that Pinckney practiced Wednesday morning and met for previously scheduled interviews on the field immediately afterward.
A source said the injury is minor and the boot is precautionary.
The hard-hitting Pinckney was the Miami Hurricanes’ third-leading tackler last season on the weak side, with 68 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 3 1/2 sacks, one interception, two pass breakups and a fumble recovery.
