When Notre Dame last played a game two weeks ago against Navy it left with a rare short injury list following a contest against the Midshipmen.

One player on that list was freshman defensive lineman Loghan Thomas, who suffered a hamstring injury in the 51-14 Notre Dame win.

An hour before kickoff Saturday night against Florida State, Notre Dame announced that Thomas will not be available for the game.

The @NDFootball availability update for tonight's game vs. Florida State (7:30 p.m. ET, NBC):

Freshman defensive lineman Loghan Thomas (right hamstring) is unavailable for the game today.

All other student-athletes listed on the ND two-deep this week are available.

Thomas has seen his role increase as injuries have occurred across Notre Dame's defense this season. To date he has recorded three tackles and is credited with half of a sack.

Notre Dame and Florida State kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
