Returns after four-game absence
Fletcher (foot) finished with 11 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's game against Virginia.
ANALYSIS
Fletcher missed multiple games with a lingering foot issue, but he returned in Week 9 and was impressive, averaging more than 4.0 yards per carry and also finding the end zone for the second time in 2023. Fletcher should remain healthy and compete for carries in a stocked Hurricanes' backfield with only four games left in the calendar.

Looks set to play
Fletcher (foot) appears set to return Saturday versus Virginia, South Florida sports reporter Geo Milian reports.
ANALYSIS
Fletcher appears set to rejoin a fully-stocked Hurricanes backfield Saturday after missing the previous three contests due to a foot issue. He should factor into the backfield alongside Henry Parrish and Donald Chaney (undisclosed) who are also slated to play despite being banged up a bit last week.

Warming up early
Fletcher (foot) is partaking in early warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Virginia, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Mario Cristobal suggested that Fletcher was doubtful to face Clemson going into the bye, but Fletcher's participation in warmups is an encouraging sign and could suggest he'll be available. A clearer picture may form when the Hurricanes put on the pads leading up to the contest.

Doubtful vs Clemson
Coach Mario Cristobal indicated Monday that Fletcher (foot) is doubtful for Saturday's matchup against Clemson, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Oct 7, 2023
Ruled out Saturday
Fletcher won't play Saturday against Georgia Tech due to a foot injury, Manny Navarro of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Hurricanes have depth at running back, so they can survive without Fletcher for a few weeks, but the team will hope the injury isn't too serious, as he was spotted in a boot on the sidelines. The first-year running back has logged 24 carries for 133 yards and two touchdowns across three appearances this season.
Sep 25, 2023
Impressive against Owls
Fletcher (upper body) rushed 11 times for 51 yards in Saturday's 41-7 win over Temple.
ANALYSIS
The freshman returned from a one-game absence and looked productive once again, and he continues to make a case to have more touches going forward. The first-year running back has logged 24 carries for 133 yards and two touchdowns across three appearances this season.

Warming up against Temple
Fletcher (upper body) is participating in warmups ahead of Saturday's game versus Temple, Susan Miller Degnan of The Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Fletcher missed last week's game versus Bethune-Cookman due to an upper-body injury but appears likely to play Saturday. The freshman running back has logged 13 carries for 82 yards and two touchdowns across two appearances this season.
Sep 14, 2023
Absent from warmups
Fletcher (upper body) has yet to take the field for warmups ahead of Thursday's game against Bethune-Cookman, Susan Miller Degnan of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Fletcher suffered an apparent upper body injury versus Texas A&M last week, and it appears significant enough that the quick turnaround for Thursday night's game won't allow him to go. After bursting for 76 yards and a touchdown in the opener, Fletcher cooled off with just six yards on the ground against the Aggies. He'll aim to return to the fold in Week four against Temple.
Sep 11, 2023
Tabbed day-to-day
Fletcher (upper body) is considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game against Bethune-Cookman, Susan Miller Degnan of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Fletcher sustained an upper body injury during Miami's Week 2 matchup with Texas A&M and is at risk of missing Thursday's contest due to the issue. If that were to be the case, Henry Parrish, Donald Chaney and Ajay Allen would be the likely candidates for more carries.

Suffers upper-body injury
Fletcher logged four carries for six yards during Week 2 but suffered an upper-body injury, CaneSport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Unlike during Week 1, Fletcher's output was subpar Saturday. Worse off, his current injury will make him questionable going into Thursday, when the Hurricanes are expected to host Bethune-Cookman on short notice for both teams' matchup in Week 3.
