Barring what would seem to be a minor miracle, Notre Dame will be without tight end Kyle Rudolph for the final three games of the season, head coach Charlie Weis said this afternoon.
Rudolph suffered a shoulder injury in the loss to Navy, and has officially been ruled out of the Irish’s next two games. There’s a chance the TE could play in the season finale against Stanford, but Weis didn’t sound optimistic that would happen.
”Rudy probably won’t be back for the rest of the regular season,” Weis said. “(The doctors) feared the collarbone being broken, but that’s not it. They said Stanford is a possibility. I’m not a doctor, and I think that’s a reach. I think he will be able to practice again in December.”
Rudolph is the Irish’s second-leading receiver with 33 receptions.
he is one of notre dame’s very talented te’s, not a wr.
while notre dame will miss rudy, mike ragone and bobby burger are fully ready to do what rudy does.
Yes they are ready……..to lose to Pitt worse than they lost to Navy! Waaaah!
