Notre Dame Week 5 injury report is clean

Here is the Notre Dame Week 5 injury report.

The No. 16 Notre Dame Fighting Irish will need all hands on deck against the No. 15 Louisville Cardinals in South Bend today.

And with the obvious exception of players who are out for the season, the injury report looks clean for this week.

Every player listed on the team’s two-deep roster will be available for the Irish as they face their first real test since losing to Northern Illinois.

A win keeps Notre Dame’s playoff hopes alive, while a loss could end the playoff run. At the very least, if the Irish lose to Louisville, they will be hoping for a lot of other big losses in the Top 25 over the remainder of the season.

Louisville presents a huge challenge for Notre Dame, and while the Irish are missing players like Jordan Botelho who are done for the season, they at least have a relatively healthy roster for the showdown with the Cardinals.

Notre Dame football loses starting offensive lineman for the season

The Irish’s offensive line depth will be challenged

Coming out of [autotag]Notre Dame football[/autotag]’s bye week, head coach Marcus Freeman brought some bad news with him in his session with the media.

Freeman announced the starting right guard [autotag]Rocco Spindler[/autotag] will be out the remainder of the season due to a knee injury. The Irish social media account was quick to action, as they made a change to the depth chart for this weekends game against Wake Forest.

Sophomore [autotag]Billy Schrauth[/autotag] will get the start in Spindler’s place, and the hope is that the transition will be fairly seamless. He has played this season, although not in a starting role.

Schrauth was the No. 5 interior offensive lineman and 169th overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings as a recruit.
