The college football season didn’t start off well for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, who dropped their first two games. However, led by CJ Carr, the team has bounced back and will look to secure their third straight win this Saturday against Boise State, aiming to improve their record to 3-2.

Not all news is positive for the team, as the latest report reveals that Jaden Greathouse, a key offensive player and crucial ally of Carr, will be sidelined for the game at Notre Dame Stadium due to a right thigh injury.

While the severity of the injury remains unclear, according to reports from irishsportsdaily.com, the wide receiver won’t miss too much time.

In the 2025 season, Greathouse has hauled in four catches totaling 73 yards over four games, sharing playing time with graduate transfer Will Pauling.

While CJ Carr has rightfully earned the spotlight at quarterback, the Notre Dame coaching staff has quietly built a solid and diverse receiver group to support their young signal-caller.
