Is Loghan Thomas playing today? Injury updates for Notre Dame defensive lineman

Notre Dame defensive lineman Loghan Thomas is dealing with a right hamstring injury. Here are the latest updates.

Defensive lineman [autotag]Loghan Thomas[/autotag] is out for the No. 10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish tonight against the Florida State Seminoles.

The freshman is sidelined with a right hamstring injury.

Notre Dame has listed all other student-athletes on the two-deep roster as available. That makes us wonder if kicker [autotag]Mitch Jeter[/autotag] is finally ready to play as he deals with a hip injury.

The Fighting Irish also return freshman cornerback Tae Johnson as the backup to [autotag]Leonard Moore[/autotag]. [autotag]Karon Hobbs[/autotag], who was in that spot last week, is now the backup nickel corner to [autotag]Jordan Clark[/autotag].

Otherwise, the Irish are getting healthier, though key players such as [autotag]Jordan Botelho[/autotag] are out for the season.

Notre Dame injury update

Notre Dame will be without Loghan Thomas this week, and [autotag]Jason Onye[/autotag] remains out for personal reasons.

How long will Loghan Thomas be out?

It is unclear how long Thomas will be out beyond this week.

Notre Dame defensive lineman depth chart

Thomas’ loss will be felt, but the Irish still have a deep defensive line. Thomas was already listed at third on the depth chart for the Vyper pass-rushing position behind [autotag]Joshua Burnham[/autotag] and [autotag]Junior Tuihalamaka[/autotag].

Only one player out for Notre Dame against Georgia Tech

Jason Onye is out for Notre Dame yet again.

Just like last week against Stanford, only one Notre Dame player is out against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

Once again, Notre Dame Fighting Irish defensive lineman Jason Onye will miss the game to deal with a personal matter.

Onye missed last week’s 49-7 blowout win at home against Stanford, as well.

Notre Dame has been plagued by injuries, as well as players being sideline for other reasons, but the Irish have mostly fought through up until this point.

Onye’s absence likely means more snaps for Armel Mulkam and Donovan Hinish.

As has been the case throughout the season, Notre Dame will need depth players to step up.

Notre Dame missing just one player versus Stanford

Notre Dame is pretty healthy for the matchup with Stanford.

The injury report is out for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish against the Stanford Cardinal, and all but one of the players listed on the two-deep roster this week are available.

Junior defensive lineman Jason Onye is out for personal reasons.

While it’s good news to see the Irish have a relatively clean bill of health going into the game against Stanford, the defensive line is already depleted with the losses of Jordan Botelho and Boubacar Traore for the year.

On the other hand, defensive lineman Gabe Rubio was seen participating in early warmups. Rubio broke his foot during fall camp.

Even though Notre Dame is expected to beat Stanford, the Irish can use all the help they can get on the defensive line.

Notre Dame still has playoff hopes.

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.
