Notre Dame football injury update: Jayson Ademilola, Jaden Mickey and more

The injury bug has hit the Notre Dame defense. Four players on that side of the ball either did not play against Stanford or got knocked out of the game.

It was the latter for graduate student defensive tackle Jayson Ademilola. He left the game with a rib contusion. Fighting Irish head coach Marcus Freeman said he did not practice Sunday.

“It’s going to take a day or two days to get it to where he’s breathing better,” Freeman said. “But no structural, no bone damage. Just a pretty good contusion that happened early in the game.”

Junior safety Ramon Henderson left the game with a tweaked ankle. He practiced Sunday. Graduate student cornerback TaRiq Bracy did not play at Stanford. He strained his hamstring on Oct. 8 against BYU and was a game-time decision against the Cardinal. Bracy practiced Sunday.

Freshman cornerback Jaden Mickey has been a part of the regular rotation at corner all season. He suited up Saturday but did not enter the game. Freeman said Mickey has an abductor (hip) strain.

All of those injury obstacles are in addition to losing graduate student linebacker Bo Bauer for the rest of the season to a knee injury sustained in practice last week.

Without Ademilola, Notre Dame is reliant on graduate student Chris Smith, senior Howard Cross and sophomore Gabriel Rubio on the interior of the defensive line. Senior Jacob Lacey left the team with intent to transfer two weeks ago.
