Another Miami man down. The odd case of Will Mallory, Brevin Jordan and other tight ends

Where have all the tight ends gone at the University of Miami?

Freshman Will Mallory is the latest victim of a physical ailment — this one an eye infection — which prevented him from practicing this week and will likely, barring an “emergency,’’ coach Mark Richt said Thursday, keep him out of the home game Saturday against Duke.

Undoubtedly talented fellow freshman Brevin Jordan, who, like all freshmen, has made some mistakes as he learns along the way, is now the only healthy tight end on the Hurricanes’ roster.

“We’re going to have doctors check up on him again tomorrow,’’ Richt said Thursday.
