The Hurricanes will open their season against the Rattlers without multiple players that were slated to be key contributors this season. Miami’s three top tacklers in 2015 were slated to return this fall. They were all dismissed following a scandal involving a local car company. The ‘Canes second leading tackler Juwon Young was dismissed in June and their leading and third leading tackler Jermaine Grace and Quan Muhammad were dismissed this week.
The Miami injury report has also put a dent in the depth in the front seven on defense.
