No. 3 Notre Dame lists Moore, Viliamu-Asa as questionable but bloodied Knapp is a no-doubter to play
Leonard Moore remains in concussion protocol, and Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa has a thumb injury as Notre Dame prepares for its next rivalry game.
Notre Dame heads into this weekend's matchup against Stanford with All-American cornerback Leonard Moore, linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, and offensive lineman Matty Augustine listed as questionable.
Moore is in concussion protocol, while Viliamu-Asa manages a thumb injury and Augustine continues recovering from a right foot injury sustained in recent weeks.
Offensive lineman Anthonie Knapp will play Saturday despite sustaining a facial injury during the 37-26 victory at North Carolina, with head coach Marcus Freeman stating he will play "even if it's another bloody mess."
Freeman detailed depth adjustments should Moore be unavailable, naming Jayden Sanders and McKinney as cornerback replacements, with Mark Zackery, Ayden Pouncey, and Khary Adams prepared for additional snaps.
The Fighting Irish enter the matchup riding a 15-game winning streak compiled over the past 12 1/2 months, with all five victories this season coming by double digits.
