With a week off from being on the field competing, Notre Dame football was hoping to be very healthy as they are getting to face a beat up Florida State team.
That will be somewhat the case, as the biggest injury news coming from Irish head coach Marcus Freeman’s Monday press conference was that kicker Mitch Jeter is still questionable as the week of preparation begins.
While the Notre Dame starting kicker has improved, he still isn’t out of the woods in terms of health as he is listed as questionable. Defensive end Loghan Thomas is also listed as questionable, but his impact isn’t nearly as big as Jeter’s is.
The good news is that the Irish will welcome back freshman safety Tae Johnson, who has not practiced until this week. It’s highly unlikely we see him on the field, but getting him back healthy is important.
One other player of note that isn’t active is defensive end Jason Onye, who hasn’t been with the team as he is dealing with a personal issue. Freeman supports his absence and he’ll be welcomed back to the team when ready.
