Notre Dame has taken at least 1 unusual injury precaution

C.J. Prosise has been a standout runner for the Irish this season.

Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly seemed unhappy the cameras filming his team's Showtime television series caught starting running back C.J. Prosise in a red (non-contact) jersey during a recent practice.

While he wished it had not gotten out, the scene put in perspective some of the issues that face many teams as the season advances: How to stay sharp and healthy at the same time.

It's a particularly daunting task for the Fighting Irish regarding Prosise because they are already thin at running back, where both of his backups are true freshmen.
