Notre Dame’s third‑year linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa will miss the upcoming contest after being officially ruled out due to a left ACL injury sustained earlier this week, a setback that also erased his pre‑game warm‑up participation.
The injury marks the second ACL tear of his career, the first having occurred in a November 22 victory over Syracuse, and while the severity of the latest damage remains under evaluation, his status as a potential high‑round NFL Draft pick adds extra weight to the disappointment.
Depth Chart Adjustments
With Viliamu-Asa sidelined, the Irish will lean on a four‑man rotation that includes Drayk Bowen, Jaiden Ausberry, Jaylen Sneed and sophomore Madden Faraimo, each of whom has seen increased snaps in practice and is prepared to step into the starting lineup.
All other players listed on the two‑deep roster remain available for the game, giving the coaching staff flexibility to adjust formations while ensuring continuity across the defensive front at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
