On both Sunday night immediately following Notre Dame’s win over Florida State and again on Monday, Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly said Notre Dame avoided an ACL injury to starting LT Blake Fisher. On Tuesday, The Athletic’s Pete Sampson reported on Irish Illustrated’s podcast that the injury is more severe than Kelly may have initially indicated stating that Fisher could be out six weeks with the knee injury.
Blake Fisher’s first career start didn’t even last until half-time until he had to head to the locker room after getting fallen on by a Florida State defender on Joe Wilkins’s touchdown grab in the second quarter.
