Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly addressed the media following Saturday's practice, which was the 13th of the spring. Kelly updated the team's injury status following the practice.

** Kelly noted that safety Kyle Hamilton, wide receiver Kevin Austin and rover Paul Moala were all in the running program.

** Veteran linebacker Drew White was back in practice, but it sounds like he will be limited in the final practices and in the spring game, if he plays at all.

** Freshman defensive tackle Gabriel Rubio has a hyper-extended elbow and his status for the spring game is in doubt. Kelly noted that Rubio has had a "really good spring."

** Freshman defensive end Will Schweitzer had Friday surgery on a ligament in his knee, although Kelly didn't give the specific name of the injury or area effected.

** Veteran tackle Josh Lugg was back out at practice on Saturday.

** Offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson, quarterback Brendon Clark and defensive tackle Jacob Lacey are all still out as expected. Kelly noted that Lacey has been making great progression.

** Kelly did not comment on junior offensive lineman Hunter Spears, but Spears has been out all spring. I do not know if that is injury related or related to something else.
