Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman addressed player injuries ahead of the team's upcoming game against Stanford. Cornerback Leonard Moore is questionable due to a concussion, while linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa has a thumb injury and is also listed as questionable. However, offensive lineman Anthonie Knapp, who had blood streaming down his face during Saturday’s win over North Carolina, is expected to play despite the injury, according to Freeman. Additionally, Matty Augustine, an offensive lineman recovering from a foot injury, may return to practice this week and could see action in the Stanford game.

Story summary
Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman showed a different reaction compared to Minnesota's P.J. Fleck after offensive lineman Anthonie Knapp came to the sideline with blood streaming down his face during Saturday’s game against North Carolina, telling him to go see the trainer rather than celebrating it. Despite being injured, Knapp returned to play and is expected to practice this week for a possible return in the upcoming game. Meanwhile, All-American cornerback Leonard Moore is listed as questionable due to a concussion sustained from the same game, with backups Jayden Sanders and DJ McKinney prepared if needed. The team is preparing possibly without Moore in their next game against Stanford.

One week after the Minnesota coach smeared the blood from linebacker Maverick Baranowski’s mouth on his face in a postgame celebration, Freeman had an entirely different reaction when Fighting Irish offensive lineman Anthonie Knapp came to the sideline with blood streaming down his face during Saturday’s 37-26 victory at North Carolina.
asserted
Knapp → smear → Carolina
“We talk about bloody Tuesdays around here, that was a bloody Saturday,” Freeman said Monday, referring to Notre Dame’s practice mentality.
asserted
Freeman → talk → mentality
“I saw him running toward me, saying something and I said ‘Go see the trainer,’ you know what I mean?
asserted
I → see → what
Knapp returned to the game after getting it stopped, and Freeman knows his player well enough that he didn’t make the team’s early week injury report.
asserted
he → return → report
Instead, No. 3 Notre Dame (5-0) is preparing possibly being without All-American cornerback Leonard Moore in this weekend’s game against longtime rival Stanford (2-3).
uncertain
Dame → prepare → Stanford
Moore is in the concussion protocol and is listed as questionable.
asserted
Moore → list → protocol
“Right now, if Leonard wouldn’t be able to go, it would be Jayden Sanders and DJ McKinney at cornerback,” Freeman said.
asserted
Freeman → go → cornerback
“Mark Zackery IV would be a third and (Ayden) Pouncey and those guys, Khary (Adams), would be ready but that’s always been the case.”
Linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa also is listed as questionable with a thumb injury, as is offensive lineman Matty Augustine, who is still working his way back from a right foot injury.
Freeman said Augustine is expected to practice this week, giving him a chance to return to the action Saturday.
asserted
Augustine → list → action
“He did some football specific work last week with our strength staff and medical staff and this week, he’ll get into practice,” Freeman said.
asserted
Freeman → do → practice
“He’s not going to go the entire practice every single rep, but he’s going to start doing some football specific work within practice.
asserted
he → go → practice
So we’ll determine, based on how he looks Tuesday, Wednesday, what his availability (will be) on Saturday.
asserted
he → determine → Saturday
But Freeman isn’t worried about plugging Augustine into a lineup that has been humming all season.
asserted
that → plug → lineup
The Irish have won 15 consecutive games over the past 12 1/2 months, and all five wins this season have come by double digits.
asserted
wins → win → digits
Notre Dame’s biggest test yet also is looming on Oct. 17 at No. 8 Brigham Young, so getting Augustine back this week could give the coaches a glimpse into where he is in his recovery while knocking off some rust.
But Freeman has no doubt about Knapp’s status.
uncertain
Freeman → loom → status
He’s playing this weekend — even if it’s another bloody mess.
asserted
it → play → ?
“He’s a tough dude, man,” Freeman said.
asserted
Freeman → ’ → ?
“I saw a picture of him, and it was like blood everywhere.
asserted
it → see → blood
But that’s Knapp for you, man.”
