Notre Dame starters Brauntae Johnson and Jason Onye exit opener with injuries

Notre Dame defensive starters Brauntae Johnson and Jason Onye left the team's season opener against Wisconsin on Sunday. The game, held at Lambeau Field, remains ongoing following the departures of both players. Medical staff attended to Johnson and Onye after both sustained lower left leg injuries during the contest. Their exits forced adjustments to the Notre Dame defensive rotation in the neutral-site matchup. Coaches and trainers have provided no immediate update on the severity of the leg injuries or the long-term status of either player. The game continues in Wisconsin as the program assesses the impact of losing the safety and the defensive tackle early in the season.
