Miami Loses 1,000-Yard WR Malachi Toney for 4-6 Weeks After Ankle Surgery

Summary
Malachi Toney will miss No. 1 Miami's trip to Notre Dame after suffering an ankle injury in Wednesday practice, with surgery expected to sideline him 4-6 weeks.
That timeline could still allow a return for the College Football Playoff, which opens Dec. 18-19, though it likely rules him out for most or all of the regular season.
Toney leaves a major hole in Miami's offense: he ranks second nationally with 73 catches, has 1,027 receiving yards and 13 touchdown receptions, and entered Week 10 with +325 Heisman odds.
Saturday's game now gets tougher for unbeaten Miami, a 6.5-point underdog at No. 11 Notre Dame, where Toney would have faced Irish corner Leonard Moore, who is expected back.
