Marcus Freeman updated the media on Notre Dame’s health status heading into this weekend’s showdown with #5 USC, and for the most part he had encouraging news for fans of the Fighting Irish
- Isaiah Foskey (DE) – Probable after getting dinged up against Boston College
- Jayson Ademilola (DT) – Probable after missing the BC game in concussion protocol
- Brandon Joseph (S) – Probable after missing the last two games with a lower-body injury
- Cam Hart (CB) – Questionable after hurting his shoulder at the end of the BC game
- Tobias Merriweather (WR) – Questionable after missing the BC game with a concussion
- Mitchell Evans (TE) – Probable after hurting his ankle against BC
While there are a few more names on the list than you’d like considering the Irish already lost so many key players for the year over the course of the season, but having everyone other than Merriweather listed is encouraging.
