We are five practices in to fall camp 2019 for the Notre Dame football team, and the media has been on hand for two full practices. Not enough to make any declarations (well, maybe some), but certainly enough to identify some trends.

- Early enrollee freshman Quinn Carroll has been lost for the season due to a serious knee injury suffered during Wednesday’s practice. This is unlikely to impact the 2019 team; Carroll was almost a sure redshirt candidate. But, Carroll had looked good in the summer and spring, and losing a year of development for an offensive tackle candidate to replace Eichenberg or Hainsey isn’t what you want.
