A helicopter just landed on the UM football practice fields, then took off in about 5 mins. Looked like a med-evac. #UM #Canes

Player ID/injury still unclear, but several UM people I've chatted with expressed confidence things are OK.

Very scary moment or the Miami program. Anytime a player has to be rushed to the hospital via helicopter or ambulance is never a good sign. I hope the young man involved is alright and makes a speedy recovery.
