Notre Dame 5th year senior linebacker Drue Tranquill practiced on Thursday but his status for Saturday night against Northwestern is still questionable. Brian Kelly told the media on Thursday that they will have to see how the captain BUCK LB feels tomorrow after practicing before determining how much, if at all Tranquill plays against the Wildcats.
The fact that Tranquill is even practicing right now is pretty remarkable. Anyone who saw Tranquill carted off the field last weekend with a towel over his head couldn’t have imagined at the time that Tranquill might be playing this weekend.
