Back in practice Knighton (undisclosed) will participate in fall practice after missing time in the spring, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Knighton was out for most of the spring practices with an undisclosed injury, but he is ready to play in fall practices. He was able to participate in a few non-contact practices near the end of the spring, but Knighton will now be able to fully play in the team's regular practices. As a sophomore in the 2021 season, the running back rushed for 561 yards with eight touchdowns and added on another 280 receiving yards for three touchdowns.

Gets in non-contact practices Knighton (undisclosed) took part in some practices late in spring in a non-contact jersey, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact A report from early spring suggested Knighton wouldn't take part in spring at all, so his presence on the practice field late in camp is a good sign. He enters 2022 as the favorite to head the running back room, though the Hurricanes aren't short on talent at the position with Donald Chaney (knee) and Thaddius Young returning and Henry Parrish joining the mix via transfer from Ole Miss this offseason.

Out for spring practice Knighton (undisclosed) will not participate in spring practice, Manny Navarro of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear why Knighton will be out for spring but it should help him be 100 percent when Miami begins summer workouts and fall camp. Knighton broke out in 2021 with 561 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground while also showing impressive pass-catching chops with 20 grabs for 280 yards on 28 targets and three touchdowns. Don Chaney (knee) will also be out for spring, leaving Miami with an inexperienced backfield group to navigate this part of the offseason program under a new coaching staff.

Suspended for four games Knighton will begin the season on a four-game suspension for a violation of team rules, Matt Murschel of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Knighton is expected to be a big part of the Hurricanes' running back rotation but will apparently leave the team down some depth early in the season. Cam'Ron Harris and Don Chaney should handle most of the backfield snaps while Knighton is unavailable.

Impact Knighton missed the final two games of the 2020 season with a shoulder injury that later required surgery, but he looks poised to enter the spring at or near 100 percent health. With lead back Cam'Ron Harris announcing plans to return to Miami in 2021, Knighton should tentatively slot in as the No. 2 option on the depth chart. Prior to getting hurt, Knighton carried 52 times for 209 yards and a touchdown while adding 11 receptions for 135 yards and a score as a true freshman.
