Canes’ Blades has myocarditis, done for season

NCAAF

Miami Hurricanes starting safety Al Blades Jr. announced Tuesday he will miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed with myocarditis.

In a Twitter post, Blades wrote, “As of last week, I was going through COVID protocols when doctors had some concerns about my bloodwork. After undergoing an MRI on my heart, I have been diagnosed with myocarditis. This will cause me to be out for a minimum of three months. It hurts not to be out there with my brothers, but I will always be a Hurricane. I’m looking forward to returning to the field in 2021.”

Myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart, has been linked to COVID-19.

Miami paused football activities last month as a result of coronavirus issues. Blades did not play in Saturday’s win at Duke, in what was Miami’s first game since Nov. 21.

The Hurricanes play North Carolina on Saturday.
