Notre Dame football’s Leonard Moore unlikely to play vs. Stanford amid concussion

Notre Dame’s undefeated 2023 season faces a setback ahead of their home showdown with Stanford this Saturday, as star cornerback Leonard Moore is expected to miss the game after suffering a concussion. Moore, one of the Fighting Irish’s top defensive players, was listed as questionable following last week’s 23-17 road victory over North Carolina, where he sustained the injury.

His absence will test Notre Dame’s secondary, though the team enters the matchup with a 5-0 record and a No. 3 national ranking, seeking to extend their winning streak against a Stanford squad currently at 2-3.

The Cardinal pose a relatively manageable challenge, offering Notre Dame an opportunity to return to their dominant form after a closely contested win in Chapel Hill. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m.

ET from South Bend, with Moore’s recovery timeline now critical for the team’s upcoming road game against BYU next week.
