Big sigh of relief. Will be interesting to see how Freeman responds to questions on his status at his weekly presser.

BREAKING: Sigh of relief for #NotreDame fans fearing the worst after safety Brauntae Johnson left Lambeau Field wearing a walking boot on his left foot. Source tells me it's a minor injury, not season-threatening. #NDFootball https://t.co/sNIjhJHRks

Miami at the latest.

Kind of reminds me of when Rocket Ismail played for Notre Dame

  Truth. Plus, I'd like to see Talich labelling Bachmeier a few times,

If we are what we say / think we are, we shouldn't have any sort of challenge until October 3rd.

I would expect the staff to be cautious with both - especially Johnson since he had a broken foot in the past and if you rush someone back too fast you can lose them for the year - ala Kevin Austin a few years back.

Excellent news.

In the meantime, I feel perfectly comfortable with Luke Talich playing in his spot should the need arise.
The man is a clutch player.
