Jakeen Harris didn’t play against Notre Dame on Saturday, and unfortunately, he’s not just nicked up—he tore a pectoral muscle early in the UConn game, and that’ll keep him out for the rest of 2023.
The injury, which Dave Doeren called “just kind of a freaky deal,” apparently happened on the third snap of the night. Harris made a routine-looking tackle on that play, but did have the receiver come down on his left side, which may have contributed.
It’s a significant blow to the defense to lose Harris, who definitely was missed against the Irish.
