Defensive lineman Micah Carter is a game-time decision after being questionable on the first two Student-Athlete Availability Reporting Game Day update and defensive back Rodney Johnson and running back Keyjuan Brown were upgraded from probable to off the injured list for Louisville.
Linebacker Bobby Washington Jr. is out and running back Girard Pringle Jr. was taken off the Student-Athlete Availability Reporting GameDay update after previously being listed as probable for Miami. None of the seven players who are out for Miami have made significant impacts on the field in 2025.
Brown being healthy for Louisville is a much-needed boost for Louisville's backfield, which is missing Duke Watson.
