UPDATE: Miami defensive lineman Akheem Mesidor has been ruled out for Miami against Stanford. Mesidor was initially a game-time decision ahead of the ACC matchup. Nine additional Miami players are listed as out versus Stanford.
Mesidor is third on Miami and first among DL with 28 tackles, second with 5.0 tackles for loss and first with 3.5 sacks. Mesidor was seen in a walking boot during practice this week. A foot injury limited Mesidor to three games during the 2023 season.
Expect Armondo Blount, Malik Bryant and Marquise Lightfoot to have increased snaps with Mesidor out. Lightfoot has been the most productive of the three with seven tackles, 2.
