Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya will be held out of practice early this week after suffering a shoulder injury against Florida State.

Hurricanes coach Mark Richt told reporters during a Sunday teleconference that the junior quarterback is not going to throw in the early part of the week.

Kaaya took several hard hits on Saturday in No. 10 Miami's 20-19 loss to 23rd-ranked Florida State.

"He got his shoulder banged up," Richt told reporters. "He probably won't throw for a couple days. We'll see how that goes."

After the game, Kaaya said he took a few hits to the head, "which I wasn't a fan of." Richt said Sunday it has not been determined that Kaaya has a concussion.

"Right now, that's not determined at all," Richt said. "When you take hard hits, it's a shock to the system when you get hit hard. Right now, we're not categorizing anything as a concussion."

Matthew Thomas was ejected for targeting on a hit to Kaaya's head early in the second half, and Kaaya lost a tooth during the game.

Kaaya said Saturday he expects to play against No. 17 North Carolina this weekend.

Malik Rosier will replace Kaaya if he cannot practice or play. Rosier won when he started for a concussed Kaaya last season against Duke.

The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Kaaya has completed 82 of 127 passes for 1,149 yards and 10 touchdowns this season.
