Notre Dame release its depth chart for Navy, without a player that should play

The Irish should see a starter back that wasn’t listed this week

Notre Dame head coach [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] met with the media on Monday afternoon to discuss the win over Georgia Tech and preview this weekend’s contest against Navy.

Although the Irish released their depth chart ahead of Freeman speaking, he revealed offensive lineman [autotag]Billy Schrauth[/autotag] would play in some capacity against the Midshipmen. Wide receiver [autotag]Jordan Faison[/autotag] is listed as a starter, but he didn’t record a catch against the Yellow Jackets. He is working his way back to full strength following an injury suffered earlier in the year.

Kicker [autotag]Mitch Jeter[/autotag] is still listed as the No. 1 place kicker and kickoff specialist, but at the moment he is questionable. Don’t be surprised to see Zac Yoakam out there if the starter can’t go, just like this past weekend.

Defensively, there weren’t any changes, as the Irish finally avoided having a week where they lost a significant contributor on that side of the ball.

It seems Notre Dame is trending to be as healthy as it can be against Navy this weekend, which clearly is a good development.
