If you haven’t already heard, the No.1 starting TE and No.3 WR for Notre Dame football have both gone down with broken collarbones in the last two weeks.
Not good.
Of course there are worse injuries, but anytime two of your starters go down with the exact same injuries just days apart, it’s notable.
It’s not entirely uncommon for athletes on a football team to pick up the same injury in preseason ball or summer camp, but it is almost always a knee injury such as an ACL tear.
Thankfully, Notre Dame’s 2019 schedule doesn’t start off nearly as rough as 2018’s, where Michigan came to town Week 1.
