As Miami looks to right a listing ship and snap a two-game losing streak, the Hurricanes will have to navigate one very key injury and another more-than-minor one to do so.
On its weekly injury report Thursday, UM confirmed that neither safety Deon Bush (pictured) nor wide receiver Herb Waters will play in the regular-season finale against Pittsburgh Saturday. Bush will be missing his second consecutive game with a hamstring issue, while Waters is dealing with a neck injury.
Bush started all 10 games to start this season before missing the loss to Virginia Nov. 22. He’s fourth on the team in tackles with 48, while his two interceptions are tied for the team lead.
Waters is fourth on the team in receiving yards (277) and fifth in receptions (20). The junior has started four of the 11 games in which he’s played this season.
