Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman Provides Injury Updates Before Fall Camp
Notre Dame football coach Marcus Freeman provided injury updates for several key players ahead of the upcoming fall camp. While some starters are recovering from ACL injuries, others remain sidelined or have medically retired from the program.
Why it matters
Injury reports are critical for college football programs as they manage roster depth and prepare for the competitive season opener.
Notre Dame provided a pre-fall camp availability update on Tuesday, noting the injured players who will engage in modified activity or be out for at least the month of August as the team prepares to open the season on Sept. 6 against Wisconsin.
Of note, returning starters linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa and center Ashton Craig will be involved in some capacity in fall camp after suffering torn ACLs during the 2026 season.
The same goes for Ohio State wide receiver transfer Quincy Porter , who missed the entire spring. The 6-foot-4 former five-star could be the starting Fighting Irish boundary receiver if healthy.
Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman clarified that those designated under "modified activity" should be ready to go by the opener.
"If it says limited and not out, then we're confident that, at some point before the first game, they'll be full go," Freeman said.
