Notre Dame quarterback Tyler Buchner OUT with ankle injury for Blue-Gold Game
Much of the Notre Dame football spring practice slate has been spent surveying sophomore quarterback Tyler Buchner. He was going to be the most intriguing player to watch in Saturday’s Blue-Gold Game.
Now, that won’t be the case.
Notre Dame’s head athletic trainer Rob Hunt announced Wednesday Buchner is unavailable to play Saturday. Junior quarterback Drew Pyne will play quarterback for both teams. Buchner walked into Wednesday’s Blue-Gold Game draft with a brace on his right ankle. He had a noticeable, slight limp. Head coach Marcus Freeman said Buchner rolled his ankle walking down a set of stairs Tuesday.
“We had a quarterbacks meeting, he left the quarterbacks meeting and it happened in the next 30 minutes,” Freeman said. “Unfortunate accident. He’ll be out for the spring game, but he got 13 really, really good practices in. I’m pleased with that part of it.”
