Florida State’s already-depleted receiving corps will be further thinned for the remainder of the spring.
First-year head coach Willie Taggart confirmed to reporters Friday morning that Nyqwan Murray will likely miss the rest of spring practice after suffering a slight meniscus tear. The wide receiver sustained the injury in a non-contact drill this past Wednesday.
“He won’t be practicing, but he’s OK,” Taggart said according to 247Sports.com. “He’ll be out the rest of spring. Had a little knee injury, a little meniscus, I think it’s a tear on the side there. He’ll be back quickly.”
Last season, Murray led the Seminoles with 604 receiving yards; tied for the team lead 40 receptions; and was second with four receiving touchdowns. With Auden Tate declaring early for the 2018 NFL draft, Stove is FSU’s leading returning receiver.
As 247Sports.com notes, the injury to Stove also leaves the Seminoles with just three healthy scholarship wide receivers.
