Jeremiyah Love is back at practice for Notre Dame, but with a big difference

Will he play?

While Notre Dame football star running back [autotag]Jeremiyah Love[/autotag] deemed himself healthy enough to play against the Penn State Nittany Lions in the [autotag]College Football Playoff[/autotag] semifinals, that might not actually be the case.

Multiple practice videos were shared this weekend, and you can be the judge at what you are seeing.

I don’t like Love’s chances to make a major impact on Thursday. He mentioned the injury was similar to what he suffered against USC, but he had three weeks to recover from that.

Love will have just over a week this time, and as we see in the video, he’s wearing a brace he is trying to adjust to wearing. Jadarian Price and Aneyas Williams will have to step up, if the star is limited.

He is participating in practice, which is a good sign, but seeing Love try to tinker the brace, while most likely in some pain, could slow him on the field.
