Brian Kelly gave Notre Dame fans a bit of good injury news on Thursday when he said that Kevin Austin could be back on the practice field shortly. Austin, the projected #1 receiver in the Irish offense, has been sidelined since surgery in late July.
Kelly updated the media that Austin recently had his 6-week scan and is out of the walking boot he’s been in since the surgery. Austin has also has begun some running progressions. Notre Dame will give Austin another scan in two weeks, and at that time, it’s possible he could be cleared for practice.
