Hurricanes coach Manny Diaz says dinged-up DBs Stevenson, James Williams fully practicing ahead of FSU game

After Wednesday’s practice, Miami Hurricanes coach Manny Diaz gave updates on the statuses of starting cornerback Tyrique Stevenson and starting safety James Williams, both of whom were seen wearing red, non-contact jerseys during Tuesday’s practice, ahead of Saturday’s road game against Florida State.

“They’re both fine,” Diaz said. “That was just your normal bumps and bruises after the game. Both guys practiced fully [Tuesday] and they practiced fully [Wednesday].”

Stevenson, a third-year sophomore who transferred from Georgia during the offseason, has been Miami’s top cornerback and has the majority of snaps in each game this season, recording 34 tackles (21 solo), five pass breakups, 2 1/2 tackles for loss and one interception.
