Miami listed the following players as out
- WR Joshua Moore
- RB CharMar Brown
- DB Ja'Boree Antoine
- DB OJ Frederique Jr.
- OL Max Buchanan
- TE Luka Gilbert
Moore, Brown and Gilbert have been out for the season with injuries suffered earlier in the year. Antoine and Frederique have also been sidelined for multiple weeks, while Buchanan has been limited by a left knee issue that has kept him out since early October.
The only change from Miami's previous report is that freshman wide receiver Milan Parris is not listed. He was ruled out for last week's game against Pittsburgh after previously being listed as doubtful. Parris has seen limited snaps in blowout wins this season and is now expected to be available Saturday in Chapel Hill.
North Carolina rules out five players
- DB Tre Miller
- DL Viliami Moala
- WR Keeyun Chapman
- DL Vodney Cleveland
- DL Jimmy-Phrisco Alo-Suliafu
Miller, a starting cornerback, has been sidelined since the Tar Heels' game at Pittsburgh on Oct. 10. Moala, Chapman, Cleveland and Alo-Suliafu have also appeared on multiple recent availability reports for the Tar Heels.
Five Tar Heels listed as questionable
- DB Peyton Waters
- LB Jonathan Agumadu
- DL Zavion Griffin-Haynes
- OL Jordan Hall
- OL Andrew Threatt
Waters, a starting safety, has been out since UNC's game against Duke on Oct. 17. Hall, the starting left tackle, missed several weeks earlier in the season but returned to play against Syracuse last week. Threatt, the starting left guard, played 30 snaps in that game.
Updated availability reports will be released at 8 p.m. each day leading up to kickoff, with the final report due two hours before the game.
