No. 12 Notre Dame loses tight end Mitchell Evans, its top receiver, to season-ending knee injury
“He will have surgery in the next week or so, depending on when the doctors decide to do it," Freeman said. Evans, a junior, led the 12th-ranked Fighting Irish with 29 receptions and 422 yards but was injured in the third quarter of Saturday's 58-7 rout over rival Pittsburgh. Notre Dame will look to Holden Staes or Eli Raridon to fill the void left by Evans' knee injury.
