One key Miami receiver returns and one tight end missing at media viewing of practice

The Miami Hurricanes had one talented pass-catcher back during media viewing of Tuesday’s practice in preparation for the Duke at 7 p.m. Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium.

They also had one talented player not on the practice field during the 15 minutes of media viewing.

Freshman wide receiver Brian Hightower, who has four catches for 60 yards and a touchdown in the opener against LSU, was back after missing the past two games with an ankle/foot injury. He had been seen on campus in a boot, and coach Mark Richt said last week that he would not play against Boston College, but did not elaborate further.
