Blue & Gold Illustrated: America's Foremost Authority on Notre Dame Football
Issue link: https://comanpub.uberflip.com/i/1547434
26 NOV. 7, 2026 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED Bodies cleared a multi-car pileup af- ter Navy tried the "tush push" on the goal line, and they revealed senior line- backer Drayk Bowen down on the field, clearly in pain. Multiple trainers, in- cluding Hunt, helped him off. He and Brewu both spent the second half in street clothes, with Bowen wearing a boot on his left foot. USA Today's John Brice reported that Bowen suffered a significant ankle in- jury and is expected to miss an extended period. The severity of Brewu's injury is unclear, but his status is in question for Nov. 7. And as Notre Dame fans know, Nov. 7 is everything. By the end of the second half, the Irish were missing six key defensive play- ers. Freeman confirmed that two, ju- nior cornerback Leonard Moore (avail- able but held out) and junior linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa (thumb), are expected to play against Miami. But they might be the only ones who return. If Brewu and Bowen are indeed out, joining fifth-year cornerback DJ McK- inney (ankle) and potentially junior safety Brauntae Johnson (out since Week 1, foot), Notre Dame's defense will be severely handicapped in its date with destiny. And after the past two games, injuries might be the least of defensive coordinator Chris Ash's problems. NOTRE DAME INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att. Gain Lost Net Avg.
