Notre Dame DE Jordan Botelho has suffered a pec injury that will keep him out 4 months
Notre Dame DE Jordan Botelho has suffered a pec injury that will keep him out 4 months It hasn't been a great calendar year for Notre Dame football defensive end Jordan Botelho, and unfortunately the injury bug has hit him once again as reported by Matt Freeman. Last fall against Purdue, the senior injured his right knee, and he was lost for the remainder of the season. While Botelho announced that he had unfinished business in South Bend and prepared for his return, but another bump in the road happened recently. The report says that he has injured his pectoral muscle and will be out for at least four months. It's a big blow for Botelho and the Irish defensive line, as they lost more than a few talented players at the position. However, the cupboard isn't bare, as Notre Dame has multiple players who could breakout this fall including Boubacar Traore, Loghan Thomas, and Bryce Young. Botelho's injury will allow some of the younger players to get valuable reps as the Irish look for the best combination to attack opposing offenses.

Jordan Botelho looks to be healthy for Notre Dame's 2026 season
Jordan Botelho looks to be healthy for Notre Dame's 2026 season It was an unfortunate 2024 season for Notre Dame football edge rusher Jordan Botelho, who had extremely high hopes entering the year. The Hawaiian looked to be heading towards a breakout season, only to suffer a season-ending injury against Purdue. Through the first three games of the year, Botelho had 12 tackles and a sack, but numerous pressures even if he wasn't quite getting the quarterback down. The right patella tendon rupture wasn't how he envisioned his season going, but after announcing that he'll return to South Bend for another year, he's taking his rehab extremely seriously. In a video he shared to his social media account, it very much looks like Botelho will be fully healthy to begin the year. He looks to be running well, lifting big weights and getting his agility back after missing the majority of this past season. Notre Dame needs some of its edge rushers to set up this coming fall, and Botelho could be one of them.
