None of the three Irish players who entered concussion protocol during the Miami game have been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Navy, coach Brian Kelly said Sunday.

Right guard Colin McGovern, linebacker Greer Martini and nose guard Daniel Cage all need to complete concussion protocol before they can return to the field, but Kelly isn't ready to dismiss the possibility any of the three injured players could feature against the Midshipmen.

"I think all of them Cage, Martini, McGovern, each one is evaluated each day and they all have a chance to make it back, but each one is a stage and a step every single day," Kelly said. "Some are ahead in terms of the next step in the process, but they all have a chance to make it back, absolutely."

McGovern did not play in the Oct. 15 loss to Stanford because of a concussion. He started Saturday against Miami.
