News broke on Friday that freshman early-enrollee Jadarian Price ruptured his Achilles tendon in off-season workouts and is expected to miss the entire 2022 season. Price’s injury comes as there is still uncertainty around Logan Diggs’s availability to start the season stretching Notre Dame’s running depth dangerously thin before fall camp has even begun.
A fully healthy running back room for Notre Dame would be one of the best in the nation with junior Chris Tyree, sophomores Audric Estime and Logan Diggs, and freshmen Jadarian Price and Gi’Bran Payne. Take Diggs and Price out of the mix, however, and the Irish are left with just three healthy running backs at the moment.
