Notre Dame got good news in terms of the injury report against Clemson as they have been able to avoid major injuries for the most part this season.
One player that has struggled staying on the field this fall though is speedster Braden Lenzy who has been battling a hamstring issue on and off since the opener against Duke back in early September.

Brian Kelly spoke about the injury front on his Monday availability with the media and Lenzy’s name was quickly brought up.
- Lenzy will attempt to do change of direction running on Wednesday this week
- Possibility he’s ready to play Saturday at Boston College, but it didn’t sound very likely
- It sounded like Kelly is airing on the side of caution which would involve Lenzy sitting against the Eagles, taking the bye week and then returning for Notre Dame’s road trip to North Carolina the day after Thanksgiving.
On the year Lenzy has just six receptions for 63 yards and one touchdown. He’s also ran the ball three times for eight yards this season.
Lenzy’s elite speed and threat of just being there would give this offense something at the receiver position that it certainly has lacked so far in 2020.
