Warming up Saturday
Chaney (undisclosed) is warming up with the running backs ahead of Saturday's game against North Carolina State, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact
This is expected as Chaney was likely to suit up for Saturday's contest after not being able to go last week. His last time out, Chaney handled 17 carries for 63 yards and figures to see some involvement in the backfield alongside Henry Parrish and Mark Fletcher.

Likely to play Saturday
Chaney (undisclosed) is expected to play in Saturday's game versus NC State, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact
Chaney missed last week's contest against Virginia but is expected to return to action Saturday. However, he should continue to stay behind Henry Parrish and Mark Fletcher in the depth chart.

DNP vs Virginia
Chaney (undisclosed) didn't play in Week 9 against Virginia.
Impact
Chaney's status was reportedly uncertain, and while his participation in warmups was a good sign of his availability ahead of Week 9, ultimately, he didn't step on the field. Chaney has tallied 73 carries for 375 yards and two touchdowns across seven appearances this season.

Gets on field for finale
Chaney (knee) had two carries for eight yards in the season finale.
Impact
A knee injury had kept Chaney sidelined all season but the talented back was able to return for the finale. He projects to be healthy for the spring and has the ability to be a factor in the Miami backfield next season.

Targeting return in 6-to-8 weeks
Chaney (knee) is looking to make a return for the Hurricanes in November, Manny Navarro of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Head coach Mario Cristobal is optimistic that Chaney will be ready to return in 6-to-8 weeks. The front end of that expectation would have Chaney ready to suit up for Miami's matchup with Florida State on Nov. 5. The redshirt freshman running back appeared in two games last season, logging 44 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries.

Out with undisclosed injury
Chaney (undisclosed) is inactive, and has no expected timetable to return, David Wilson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact
Chaney appears to have suffered an undisclosed injury at practice, but head coach Mario Cristobal hasn't commented on the nature of the issue. The 5-foot-10 running back handled 11 carries for 44 yards and a touchdown across two games in 2021, before tearing his ACL. It is unclear if the issue is a re-aggravation of the knee injury.

Cleared for fall
Chaney (knee) has recovered and can participate in fall practice, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact
Chaney participated in two games last season before tearing his ACL and missing the rest of the year. Prior to his injury, the running back had 44 yards and one touchdown. He was able to find some success as a freshman in 2020, rushing for 322 yards and three touchdowns, and will look to do even better as a junior.

Non-contact participant late in spring
Chaney (knee) took part in some late spring practice sessions as a non-contact participant, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact
Given that Chaney wasn't expected to practice at all in spring, this is certainly a good sign regarding his health ahead of fall camp. Chaney finished 2021 with just 11 carries for 44 yards and a touchdown and may have a challenge finding consistent reps with at least Jaylan Knighton and Henry Parrish projecting to be ahead of him on the depth chart.

Out for spring
Chaney (knee) will not participate in spring practice, Manny Navarro of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Chaney is on the mend from a torn ACL suffered in September and will be sidelined for spring practice under a new coaching staff in Miami. Fellow running back Jaylan Knighton will also miss spring practice, which will give some of the younger and less experienced players a chance to make a mark.

Could miss time with leg injury
Coach Manny Diaz said Chaney's injury "doesn't look good" after Saturday's win over Appalachian State, Manny Navarro of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Chaney was spotted on crutches with a brace on his right knee during Saturday's game, per David Wilson of the Miami Herald. The talented runner was injured on a run early in the contest and Diaz's comments suggest that he could miss time.

Night ends early
Chaney will not return to Saturday's game against Appalachian State due to a lower extremity injury, Manny Navarro of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Chaney limped off the field and went to the medical tent for further evaluation. He has since been ruled out, ending his night after four carries. Miami hosts Michigan State in Week 3.

Receives seven carries
Chaney had seven carries for 23 yards in a loss Saturday to Alabama.
Impact
The freshman received seven carries Saturday, while also hauling in one pass for four yards. Chaney could receive a similar workload against Appalachian State.

Active Friday
Chaney (undisclosed) had seven carries for 53 yards and caught a touchdown pass in Friday morning's mock game, Christy Cabrera Chirinos of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact
Chaney has been limited throughout fall camp after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery but was active Friday for a mock game the team had and was pretty effective with the opportunities he got. The sophomore had 68 carries for 322 yards and three touchdowns to go along with 11 receptions for 143 yards in 11 games last season and figures to have a similar role in 2021 as he's expected to split opportunities out of the backfield with Jaylan Knighton and Cam'Ron Harris.

Works off to side Tuesday
Chaney (undisclosed) worked off to the side in Tuesday's practice, Khobi Price of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact
Chaney was limited early in camp but had returned to full participation as of Aug. 17. It's unclear whether he's dealing with a new issue or if Miami is being cautious with Chaney with the season approaching. There will likely be more information on Chaney's status in the lead-up to the Sept. 4 opener against Alabama.

Back in regular practice jersey
Chaney (shoulder) has shed his non-contact jersey at practice, Khobi Price of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact
Chaney and Cam'Ron Harris were both spotted in non-contact jerseys last week but seem to be back in a full capacity Tuesday. The duo along with Jaylan Knight are expected to comprise the primary contributors out of the Hurricanes' backfield this season.

Spotted in non-contact jersey
Chaney sported a non-contact jersey during Tuesday's practice session, Manny Navarro of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Chaney believed he would be ready for fall camp, but it appears he's not all the way back from his offseason shoulder surgery. The freshman has plenty of time to shed that jersey before the opener versus Alabama on Sept. 4 as he looks to lay claim to a role in Miami's backfield.

Will be ready for fall camp
Chaney (shoulder) will be ready for the start of fall camp, according to Khobi Price of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
Impact
Chaney has been dealing with a shoulder problem but there was an expectation of him being ready for the season opener. With that in mind, this is certainly a positive development for the running back. The Florida native totaled 68 carries for 322 yards and three touchdowns while catching 11 passes for 143 yards in 11 games as a freshman in 2020.
