In the season opener against Texas, Notre Dame wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr. went down on a scary hit, for which Longhorn safety DeShon Elliott has since apologized. The senior receiver missed last week’s game against the Nevada Wolf Pack, but it seems he will be ready to go this weekend.
The Fighting Irish face off against the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday and it looks like Hunter will be back on the field for his team. Pete Sampson reported on Twitter that Hunter said he had passed concussion protocol.

The Irish and Spartans meet up on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
