The No. 2 Hurricanes enter their matchup with Louisville relatively healthy.
Miami listed six players as out in its initial injury report for Friday night's game, and no starters were listed as out or questionable.
Wide receiver Chance Robinson, who was listed as questionable during last week's initial report, was moved to "out" this week. He was listed as out on the gameday report last year.
Linebacker Bobby Washington was listed as questionable during last week's report, and he is still listed as questionable.
The ACC is mandating its football, men's and women's basketball and baseball teams report which players are available prior to each conference game. Football teams are required to submit an initial report two days before the game, an updated report one day before the game and a game day report no later than two hours before the game starts. Teams "must act in good faith to comply with this policy," according to the conference.
The Big 10 has a similar policy, and USC was fined $5,000 for listing running back Bryan Jackson as "out" and then playing him last week.
The conference mandates teams announce which players meet certain designations.
-Available: Available to play
-Probable: likely to play or greater than 50 percent chance to play
-Questionable: uncertain to play or less than 50 percent chance to play
-Out: will not play or 0 percent chance to play
On game day reports, players can be listed as available, "game time decision" or out.
Here is the Hurricanes' initial availability report before facing Louisville on Friday night:
