Shannon insists QB Harris 'is fine'
CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- After further review, Jacory Harris putting on a postgame sling was merely for comic effect.
Miami's quarterback appeared for his postgame interview after Saturday's 34-16 win over Duke with his right, or throwing, arm supported by a sling. He has a thumb injury on that hand, the exact severity of which has not been announced, and played against Duke with his hand wrapped in tape.
But when Harris left the room, he ripped off the sling. Turns out, the quarterback was "getting some of you guys," Miami coach Randy Shannon told reporters Sunday.
Harris did miss one practice last week, but Shannon insisted that his quarterback "is fine."
Miami (No. 21 ESPN/USA Today, No. 19 AP) closes the regular season Saturday at South Florida.
