Notre Dame DE Jordan Botelho has suffered a pec injury that will keep him out 4 months
Last fall against Purdue, the senior injured his right knee, and he was lost for the remainder of the season. While Botelho announced that he had unfinished business in South Bend and prepared for his return, but another bump in the road happened recently.

The report says that he has injured his pectoral muscle and will be out for at least four months. It's a big blow for Botelho and the Irish defensive line, as they lost more than a few talented players at the position.
However, the cupboard isn't bare, as Notre Dame has multiple players who could breakout this fall including Boubacar Traore, Loghan Thomas, and Bryce Young. Botelho's injury will allow some of the younger players to get valuable reps as the Irish look for the best combination to attack opposing offenses.
