Robert Burns misses 2nd practice in a row

Apr 1, 2017

Miami freshman RB Robert Burns was not at his second practice in a row for an undisclosed reason.

On Thursday, media was told by UM officials that Burns was missing because he had class during that time frame. We saw Vinny Scavo, UM's head athletic trainer, taking Burns somewhere on a golf cart before practice, and Scavo said he was taking him to class. Then after practice, when UM OC and RB coach Thomas Brown was asked about Burns, he said he does not discuss injuries. It was a bit bizarre, but you can watch for yourself below.

UPDATE: Burns is in a sling and I am hearing that he is dealing with a dislocated shoulder.

Not concerned. Call me when he starts missing practices in August for "undisclosed reasons".

Waste of a scholarship. Great potential ruined by a systematically injured body.

/let the negging begin, but all he's done so far is prove the doubters right.

If it's only a dislocated shoulder then he will be fine. I was fearing it was another ankle injury. Y'all so called cane fans are rooting against the kid. Makes me sick

Pointing out a kid is as brittle as wet toilet paper isn't rooting against him

Yeah, "it's only a dislocated shoulder". That would be great if he hadn't been injured for a couple years now. Maybe the ones concerned about his injuries were right. Dude literally just stepped on campus.

Im not bashing, just stating facts. The staff took a huge risk on this cat, especially a year when the rb depth is awful.

He has great potential and ability but availability is more important.

Where are these posts that are rooting against him? We had the same concerns with his recruitment considering the last time he's been healthy was his sophmore year. And iirc, you blasted posters for making these concerns - which seem valid now.

When the going gets tough, give me a 3-star kid who's durable and available instead of a high 4-star who's always injured.

Instead of trying to encourage him our "fans" are quick to kick him while he's down. I don't see how you can be fake, can never be me

And once again, the constant theme is that Burns is always injured. This is what posters are bringing up. YOU chose to start playing the internet tough guy role.

So now it's our fault he's injured?
