Linebacker Ruled Out
Notre Dame announced Monday that captain and starting linebacker Drayk Bowen will miss the game against No. 1 Miami because of a right ankle injury. Bowen leads the team with 45 tackles and has two pass breakups, which are tied for third on the squad, along with one fumble recovery. He also wears the radio helmet used to relay defensive calls from the sideline.
Additional Injury Updates
The injury report also lists defensive linemen Francis Brewu and Jason Onye as questionable with knee injuries. Defensive backs Brauntae Johnson and DJ McKinney remain out after suffering injuries during the season opener against Wisconsin.
Coach Comments on Impact
Coach Marcus Freeman indicated that the absence of the player with the radio helmet should not create major issues. He noted that the coach-to-player communication serves mainly as a backup and that loud stadium conditions would limit its effectiveness anyway during this key contest.
