No. 2 Notre Dame had a well-timed bye this past week because the injuries were starting to pile up.

The offensive line had to be re-worked with two new starters for this week’s game at North Carolina, but the running backs appear to be back to full strength according to Brian Kelly.

Kelly met the media on Monday and shared the following about Notre Dame’s beat-up backfield:

Kyren Williams:  Notre Dame’s biggest offensive weapon who has produced 10 touchdowns and 992 scrimmage yards didn’t play nearly the entire second half at Boston College. Kelly said Williams had a banged-up ankle against BC but called it “nothing major” and is set to prepare for North Carolina with no limitations this week. He added that Williams “looked good in the weight room” Monday morning.

C’Bo Flemister: Suffered an ankle injury in the Boston College game, but Kelly expects him to be ready to go Friday against North Carolina. Kelly added that he ran yesterday and is set to practice on Monday.

Kendall Abdur-Rahman: The class of 2019, four-star recruit is officially back at running back as had been the plan in fall camp.
