During Mario Cristobal's Monday press conference he provided an injury update on Miami Hurricanes defensive back OJ Frederique, after playing two snaps against the Stanford Cardinal.

According to Cristobal, Frederqiue will be out for quite some time: [It's a] pretty significant injury, so he'll be down for quite a while." Cristobal did not provided a time table for when Frederique will be back.

Coming into the 2026–27 college football season, Frederique was considered the focal point of the Hurricanes' secondary. The Hurricanes next couple of games are tune-up games before they travel to Clemson. So, hopefully he gets to feeling better before the team travel in a tough environment.

This past season, Frederique played a huge role in the Hurricanes' secondary, recording a total of 19 tackles and seven pass deflections. He blew up his freshman season, totaling for 27 tackles and one interception.

Due to the injury, junior defensive back Damari Brown was inserted into the game to replace Frederqiue. This is a huge blow for the Hurricanes secondary. Now, it is time to see what player steps up in his spot.

The Hurricanes will kick off against the FAMU Rattlers this Thursday inside Hard Rock Stadium.

He suffered a big injury last year, it took him one snap into the season to suffer a big injury this year. You do that in the NFL and you are getting cut after the season.

 

One of our top insiders said it was nothing yesterday. Odd.

 

Oconner is rumored hurt too but I cant wait til the fan base have to come back..

On some Thanos ****

"You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me,"

And Lucas rumor

if xavier lucas actually is hurt too we are in deep, deep trouble. and even if he isn't, we need to pray that one of the young guys steps up and takes damari's spot. because he ain't it.

Mario would have brought it up if Lucas had a bad injury

Bryce Fitzgerald to the potential rescue. JJ Dunnigan is going to get all the burn he ever hoped he could, either way.

 

Need him back for the ACC Championship game and playoffs

 

You legit can’t have enough corners. Figured we were 5 deep with solid guys aaaaaand it’s gone.

Like they say, the greatest ability is availability.

Let’s be honest folks…we don’t really need OJ until Clemson and that’s a maybe. We got lucky that our schedule is favorable. Mario could just be saying he will be out awhile to not show his hand. I’ll bet he will be out there against ND. The secondary can hold down the fort until said time. Definitely sucks this kid can’t seem to stay on the field.

 

And Brooklyn coming on here saying he’s going be fine. Lmaooo

 

Well ****kk can sears reclass again and suit up thursday

 

Poopy

 

How bad is Slime injury?

 

Mario on Antoine: "We expect him back in the latter part of the season."

 

Quite some time is open to one’s interpretation. Some of y’all need to step away from the ledge.

 

And Brooklyn coming on here saying he’s going be fine. Lmaooo

he is going to be fine after about 6 weeks
