At 3:05 p.m. ET, the Notre Dame football PR twitter account noted that \u201call student-athletes listed on the Notre Dame two-deep this week are available.\u201d <\/p>\n
Irish offensive lineman Rocco Spindler<\/a><\/strong>, who was questionable coming into the Fighting Irish\u2019s Sugar Bowl and College Football Playoff quarterfinal, was listed on the two-deep<\/a><\/strong> that published last Dec. 23..

He has a small brace on his right knee. It\u2019s to be determined if he\u2019ll play, as he wasn\u2019t listed on the Irish\u2019s aforementioned depth chart.
