Running back DeeJay Dallas' status is uncertain for the rest of the year.

Miami coach Manny Diaz announced that Dallas' arm injury will not require surgery, but the status of him being held out is uncertain at the moment.

"The latest I've heard is that it might not need surgery, but I'm not sure how long the recovery might be," Diaz said.

Dallas sustained a left arm injury in the third quarter in 30-24 loss to FIU on Saturday and left the game.

Dallas was tackled for no gain and fell awkwardly on his arm with 13:09 left. He stayed down on the field for several minutes with both teams taking a knee awaiting him to be lifted to his feet.

He immediately walked to the locker room with two trainers by his side with his left arm bent and held close to his body.

At the time of his injury, Dallas had rushed for 50 yards on nine carries.

Dallas was seen following he game with his arm in a sling.

On the season, Dallas has rushed for 693 yards and eight touchdowns in ten games.

With Dallas likely out this week against Duke, sophomore Cam’Ron Harris will step up into the lead running back role. Harris has rushed for 501 yards and four touchdowns in a complementary role this season.

Earlier this season against Georgia Tech, Harris rushed for a season high 136 yards on 18 carries.

With Harris being used in the lead role, Robert Burns now figures to be the top back up. Burns has rushed or 67 yards on ten carries this season. Against FIU, Burns rushed for 31 yards on four carries.

Diaz also mentioned that former five-star running back Lorenzo Lingard, who was expected to redshirt this year, will be available moving forward with Dallas likely out against Duke.
