Miami coach says injured Kamren Kinchens is ‘in good shape’ after horrific accident – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Miami football coach Mario Cristobal says All-American safety Kamren Kinchens is “in good shape” after he was carted off the field following a terrible hit late in the Hurricanes’ win over Texas A&M became.

Cristobal, in his weekly Monday morning appearance on the school’s flagship radio partner WQAM, said all test results were encouraging. Kinchens was released from a hospital on Sunday. His family posted a photo of him from the hospital bed on social media, thanking people for their support and saying he was “doing better.”

“He has completed all tests and evaluations and is in good condition,” Cristobal said Monday. “He’s fine. He’ll be fine. He’ll be really good. Nothing too serious. He’s just got some football stuff going on. We’ll be in great shape.”

Kinchens appeared to have suffered a severe blow to his upper body during Miami’s 48-33 win over then-No. 23 Texas A&M on Saturday. Medical staff tended to him for several minutes before transporting him off the field.

Cristobal did not provide any information on how long the team expects Kinchens to be sidelined. No. 22 Miami returned to the AP Top 25 this week after defeating the previously ranked Aggies and hosts Bethune-Cookman on Thursday night.
