Report: Miami QB Carson Beck cleared after elbow surgery

Miami quarterback Carson Beck will be able to participate in summer activities with his new team following his elbow surgery in December, ESPN reported Monday night.

"He's good to go. He's exceeding every benchmark," Hurricanes coach Mario Cristobal told the outlet at the Atlantic Coast Conference's spring meetings.

Beck had surgery to repair his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) on Dec. 23, ending his season and his career at Georgia in the midst of the College Football Playoff. The quarterback was injured on the last play of the first half in Georgia's win over Texas in the SEC championship game.

Without their two-year starter, the Bulldogs turned to Gunner Stockton for their playoff opener in the quarterfinal round. They lost to Notre Dame 23-10 at the Sugar Bowl.

Beck entered the transfer portal instead of the NFL draft given his injury situation, and he signed with Miami, which needed a new starter to replace No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Ward.

Beck could not practice during the spring, but Cristobal said the QB has been throwing for the past three weeks. He was described as "approaching 100 percent," per ESPN.
