Just weeks before the start of football season, two Notre Dame players are already likely ruled out for this fall after suffering season-ending injuries at camp, the school confirmed.

Offensive lineman Charles Jagusah suffered a torn pectoral muscle after injuring his shoulder during a practice on Saturday, Notre Dame said in a statement.

In addition, defensive back and specialist Marty Auer injured his left knee and tore his ACL as a result.

Both players will have surgeries on their respective injuries and each is expected to miss the entire 2024 football season, the school said.

Jagusah, a redshirt freshman, appeared in two games for Notre Dame last season, playing against Stanford and in place of Joe Alt during the Sun Bowl.

He was expected to earn a place as a starter on the Fighting Irish offensive line this season at left tackle and to protect the blind side of incoming transfer quarterback Riley Leonard.
