Richards suffered a bone bruise to his knee in the Miami Hurricanes season opening 33-17 loss to LSU. The Junior missed six games in 2017 with ankle, hamstring and knee injuries. The announcement that Richards would be out came during Head Coach Mark Richt’s weekly teleconference with reporters.
Richards has not practiced at all this week as his teammates get ready for the game against the Rockets. The 2016 Freshman All-American caught one pass for nine yards in the loss to LSU.
Richards will now have played in eight of Miami’s last 16 games dating to the 2017 season opener.
