No. 4 Notre Dame Rules Out LB Drayk Bowen for Showdown Against No. 1 Miami

The senior linebacker’s injury could leave Notre Dame without a key starter after he made his 36th straight start against Navy.

  • Notre Dame released its injury report on Monday, confirming starting linebacker Drayk Bowen will miss Saturday's game due to a significant right ankle injury.
  • Bowen leads the Fighting Irish with 45 tackles this season and wears the radio helmet to relay defensive coordinators' play calls from the sideline to teammates on the field.
  • Coach Marcus Freeman downplayed the communication loss, saying the radio setup is "more of a backup" and the stadium's expected volume would limit its effectiveness anyway.
  • Notre Dame's injury report also lists defensive linemen Francis Brewu and Jason Onye as questionable with knee injuries, while defensive backs Brauntae Johnson and DJ McKinney remain out.
  • The Fighting Irish face a critical matchup this Saturday with their defensive rotation significantly depleted by multiple absences across the secondary and linebacker positions.
