In the first quarter against Duke, Mallory took a short pass 11 yards for the Canes' first first down of the game. After the next play, he limped to the sideline and did not come back in for the next play.
A few plays later, Upshaw caught a 5-yard pass up the middle and seemed to favor his arm as he came off the field. But after a few more snaps, the wideout was back in the game.
The Hurricanes, No. 6 in the US LBM Coaches Poll and No. 7 in the College Football Playoff rankings, came into today's game without star receiver Malachi Toney, who is expected to miss the rest of the regular season after suffering a high ankle sprain at practice Nov. 4. The defense was banged up too with starting safety Zechariah Poyser ruled out before the game after leaving the Notre Dame game last week early with an undisclosed injury.
Mallory has been a valuable part of Miami's top-ranking scoring offense and the No. 29 run game in the nation. The freshman entered the Duke game just behind Mark Fletcher Jr. in rushing yards (509 to 514) on 74 carries with seven touchdowns. He's also got seven catches for 64 yards.

Mallory came back for the next play but was visibly limping on a safety route, then limped back to the Miami sideline.
