Miami has been banged up in the secondary and the one player the Hurricanes probably can't afford to lose right now is safety Jakobe Thomas.
Thomas, an offseason transfer from Tennessee, is the de-facto leader on the back end of the defense now that Keionte Scott is lost for the season. So, when Thomas had to leave the game in the first half with an apparent injury, it was a major concern.
Miami DB Jakobe Thomas was hurt on the last play. He's a very important piece to the Hurricanes defense.
