UVA defensive line adjusts following loss of Richard Burney

247 Sports provided coverage of the comments from the team’s head coach Bronco Mendenhall about the injury.
“Richard is done for the season with a health injury,” announced Mendenhall on Monday. “Our team has been saddened by that. He was elected to be the player that chose his jersey first, team captain, got an extra year of eligibility granted, has overcome so much adversity and an injury sustained or health-related injury really, after the Miami game is what led to this.
“So, again he won’t be with the team in an active way through the remainder of this season. He will be back with us, and hopefully on the sideline or just around, as soon as possible. So that was the announcement.”
