The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have released the depth chart for this weekend's home matchup against Rice.
At first glance, it looks like there are no surprises -- but defensive lineman Jason Onye and safety Brauntae Johnson don't appear to be on it. Both left the game against Wisconsin with injuries.
Head coach Marcus Freeman said during his media availability that Onye and Johnson will both be out for a few weeks.
Meanwhile, linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa is on the chart as a backup. Viliamu-Asa missed the Wisconsin game with a left knee injury. It appears he will be available now.
