University of Miami coach Mark Richt announced Thursday that starting junior wide receiver Ahmmon Richards and key senior defensive end Demetrius Jackson will not play Saturday in UM’s home opener against Savannah State.
Each sustained a knee injury, though to what extent has not been revealed, on Sunday in UM’s 33-17 opening-night loss against LSU.
“Neither one of those will play,’’ Richt said. “They’re just not ready to go. They’re not going to be playing in this game.’’
When asked about the timetable for their return Richt said, “You know, it’s just hard to predict. We’ll know more after the game — not that they’re playing in it, but we’ll know more in a couple days.
