Miami's Braxton Berrios to return vs. Cincinnati after knee injury

Steve Mitchell / USA TODAY Sports

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - The undefeated Miami Hurricanes will receive an offensive boost this week, as wide receiver Braxton Berrios is set to return from a knee injury.

Berrios hurt his left knee on the opening possession of the season, but the sophomore receiver has been cleared to play Thursday when Miami visits Cincinnati. It is the Hurricanes' final non-league test before entering Atlantic Coast Conference play. Berrios practiced on Sunday without any limitations.

''I'm back,'' Berrios said. ''Feel good.''

His return comes at a good time for Miami, which will be without receiver Stacy Coley against the Bearcats. Coley is still dealing with a nagging hamstring injury, and Miami's hope is to have him back for the ACC opener on Oct. 10 at Florida State.
