Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly took to the podium following practice on Thursday and shared some injury news.

Kelly was asked about the health of linebacker Greer Martini and if he would play Saturday against USC. He stated that he will miss the rivalry game after having a "small procedure" on his meniscus. Kelly added that he expects Martini back for the N.C. State game.

As replacements for Martini, expect increased playing time for linebackers Tevon Coney and Jamir Jones.

Martini is Notre Dame’s third-leading tackler this season with 39 total. He also leads the Irish two forced fumbles.
