The knee injury Brenan Vernon suffered in practice earlier this month required surgery on his MCL.
Head coach Marcus Freeman shared that update on the junior-to-be defensive tackle at Wednesday’s press conference to wrap up Notre Dame’s spring football. The Irish practiced this week and last week following the Blue-Gold Game on April 12 with Wednesday marking the official end of spring practices.
Vernon’s spring ended two weeks prior, which prevented him from playing in the Blue-Gold Game. But Freeman expects Vernon to be physically ready to contribute by July. Freeman did not clarify which knee Vernon injured.
