Notre Dame Safety Brauntae Johnson Expected Back After Minor Foot Injury

Notre Dame safety Brauntae Johnson is projected to return from a minor left foot injury sustained during the season opener against Wisconsin. Coach Marcus Freeman confirmed Johnson may miss a couple of weeks but is not facing a season-ending setback. Former walk-on Luke Talich replaced Johnson and is now viewed as a starter, while freshman Joey O'Brien also saw limited action. Defensive tackle Jason Onye also left the game with an ankle injury and is expected to miss multiple weeks. Freeman expressed confidence in the depth of both the safety and defensive line units, noting that backups like Talich and O'Brien have increased roles. Johnson, who had four interceptions in his final six games of 2025, missed the tackle that led to his injury but the exact cause remains unclear. The Irish are preparing for a game against Rice while managing these roster changes.
