Notre Dame football depth chart projection for NC State
Notre Dame football released Monday its official depth chart for its third game of the season against NC State (1-0) in Raleigh, N.C., on Saturday (12 p.m. EDT on ABC).
The Irish (2-0) needed to update the depth chart to reflect the current injury status after Saturday's 56-3 victory over Tennessee State in Notre Dame Stadium.
Head coach Marcus Freeman declared wide receiver Matt Salerno out for "an extended period of time" with a lower leg injury suffered in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game. Running back Devyn Ford, who suffered a concussion on the hit that knocked him out of the game on a kick return against Tennessee State, remains in concussion protocol and is day-to-day. Defensive tackle Gabriel Rubio remains sidelined for "another couple weeks" following an arthroscopic surgery, Freeman said.
Notre Dame's official depth chart only runs two deep at certain positions and might not give the complete picture of the moving pieces that come into play during the season. So Inside ND Sports provides a projected depth chart that goes beyond the two-deeps based on conversations with Freeman, his coaching staff, players, others in the know and observations from practice.
Heights and weights were last updated at the beginning of preseason camp on July 26. The word "OR" indicates a dead heat on the depth chart between that player and the player listed directly below him.
