On the heels of a stunning upset loss to unranked Marshall, Notre Dame received another blow to its already sidetracked season.
Coach Marcus Freeman announced Monday that starting quarterback Tyler Buchner sustained a “significant” sprain to the AC joint in his left shoulder and will undergo surgery, according to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg. Per The Athletic’s Matt Fortuna, Freeman said Buchner suffered a “Grade 5 out of 6 AC sprain in his non-throwing shoulder.”
The Fighting Irish signal-caller will have surgery Tuesday and is expected to be out for the next four months as he recovers, effectively rendering him inactive for the remainder of the 2022 season.
