Notre Dame Head Coach Brian Kelly at his press conference today confirmed that Irish CB Lo Wood has ruptured his achilles tendon and will need season-ending surgery.

Wood’s recovery time is in the 4-6 month range, so he should be ready by spring. The loss of Wood leaves the Irish very inexperienced at CB moving forward. 

The Irish open the season in less than two weeks in Dublin against Navy.
