Notre Dame RB C.J. Prosise leaves game with injury
Notre Dame beat Pittsburgh 42-30, but the Irish lost running back C.J. Prosise in the process.
Prosise left the game late in the first quarter with an injury that coach Brian Kelly said was to his "shoulder, neck, upper body." Prosise's head and shoulder slammed into the ground after a tackle.
Irish Illustrated reported that Prosise suffered a concussion and a possible shoulder injury. Kelly said after the game that Prosise would be evaulated on a day-to-day basis and that the running back had gone through concussion protocol.
Before leaving the game, Prosise had 28 yards on five carries and two catches for 29 yards. The senior entered Saturday’s game with 947 yards and 11 touchdowns in eight games. Josh Adams was Notre Dame's leading rusher Saturday. He had 20 carries for 147 yards.
