As Brian Kelly walked off the field at Heinz Field following his team’s 42-30 victory over Pitt, ABC/ESPN’s Todd McShay asked the Notre Dame head coach about the status of his star running back who was injured earlier in the day. Kelly’s response indicates that a return next week could very well be likely.
He got hit when he went down on his shoulder – hit the field, it wasn’t necessarily a contact hit. He’s day to day. It doesn’t look like a serious injury so we think we’ll get him back next week,” Kelly said before trotting off the field.
