'Canes' Moore suspended indefinitely
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- Miami wide receiver Ryan Moore has been suspended indefinitely for violation of an unspecified team policy, Hurricanes coach Larry Coker said Saturday.
Moore was suspended for the team's season-ending Peach Bowl appearance last season, then suspended again for the first two games of this year because of previous violations of team rules.
"Not that he won't return, but pending some action, I have made that suspension due to a violation of team policy," Coker said. "And we'll see as this thing progresses."
Moore, a senior, started nine games last season and caught 28 passes for 464 yards and four touchdowns. Coker said he will re-evaluate Moore's status and may reinstate him later in the season.
"It is disappointing any time that you have to suspend a player, not really for me, but for him for than anything," Coker said. "You hate to see a player miss anything."
Coker suspended three other players, including projected starting running back Tyrone Moss, earlier this summer because of other team rule violations.
The 12th-ranked Hurricanes open the year Sept. 4 at home against No. 11 Florida State.
