Miami tight end (and USC transfer) Blake Ayles has missed two days of practice with an undisclosed injury.

No additional information has been given, but Miami also moved former defensive end Dyron Dye to tight end today.  Dye is huge, going 6-foot-5, 275 pounds according to the team's official roster.  Miami is going to use a lot of two tight end sets, but they now have eight on their team, and this looks like a situation to avoid at all costs.  Ayles and Chase Ford had been running with the top unit, with Clive Walford and Asante Cleveland battling for time.
