Miami Hurricanes navigate challenges after COVID layoff, but happy to return to game prep

The down time for the Miami Hurricanes is behind them. Their layoff of team workouts has been behind them for a week, and they’ve held true practices since Monday ahead of the Saturday night game at Duke.

“I’ve been playing a lot of ‘Call of Duty: Zombies.’ I’ll tell you that much,” redshirt junior defensive end Jaelan Phillips said of what consumed his time during the two weeks Miami spent away to allow a COVID-19 outbreak to dissipate.

The Hurricanes have eased back into routine to assure they don’t look like zombies when they take the field again.
