As the Notre Dame football team gears up for the 2024 season, their focus is on achieving optimal health. However, they are currently dealing with a significant setback due to an injury to left tackle Charles Jagusah.
While Jagusah’s injury is a major concern, another injury announced on Saturday is also noteworthy, though it may not be as impactful. Chance Tucker, a defensive back, has been injured, but the extent of his injury remains unclear.
During a press conference on Saturday, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman mentioned, “Chance Tucker got injured. I don’t know the extent of it.” This news means the team is short one player in a crucial position, especially as they await confirmation on the status of cornerback Benjamin Morrison.
No further details on Tucker’s injury were provided on Sunday, and while it’s not a season-ending situation, losing Tucker for any significant period is far from ideal. As training camp progresses, it appears less likely that Tucker would see much playing time this season, given the strong competition from top corners like Benjamin Morrison, emerging talent Christian Gray, seasoned veteran Jaden Mickey, and freshman Leonard Moore.
Despite this, Notre Dame still boasts considerable depth at the cornerback position. There are also rumors that Moore might be slightly injured and that Morrison could be ahead of schedule in his recovery.
