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 following Saturday's 37-26 victory at North Carolina, while Viliamu-Asa manages a thumb injury and Augustine continues recovering from a right foot injury.
Offensive lineman Anthonie Knapp will play this weekend despite facial injuries sustained in Saturday's game, with head coach Marcus Freeman stating he will play "even if it's another bloody mess."
Freeman detailed depth adjustments should Moore be unavailable, noting Jayden Sanders and McKinney would step in at cornerback, 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.
