Impact While head coach Marcus Freeman seems to be portraying a continued quarterback competition into the fall, Sampson notes that Carr looked markedly better than his competitors, Steve Angeli and Kenny Minchey, in the spring game. Given that the spring transfer portal is around the corner, Freeman could be making statements in an attempt to keep his depth around, though it's also not cut and dry that Carr is the starter at this point, either. Still, things seem to be trending in that direction following spring ball.

Full-go in spring Head trainer Rob Hunt revealed that Carr (elbow) is unrestricted for Notre Dame's spring practice, per Pete Sampson of The Athletic.

Impact Carr reportedly went through a full winter training program as well and appears to be good to go for spring.

Will resume throwing soon Carr (elbow) will begin throwing again soon, Tyler Horka of On3.com reports.

Impact Carr is doing well in his recovery, as if he was the starting quarterback, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman reportedly could've expedited his recovery process slightly. The true freshman quarterback is staring at a redshirt year, but it's a good sign for the gunslinger who looks like the future face of the Irish quarterback room.

Expected back soon Carr (elbow) continues to work out with a no-throw status, but is expected to start practicing in full soon, Mike Berardino of the South Bend Tribune reports.

Impact Carr, who fractured his elbow in late September, continues to work his way back from injury. The 6-foot-3 freshman quarterback has yet to begin throwing at practice, but the team believes he is nearing a return to full practice workloads.

Rehabbing elbow Carr injured his elbow in practice several weeks ago and is in the process of rehabbing, Mike Berardino of the South Bend Tribune reports.

Impact Carr is only described as having elbow soreness, so the injury doesn't appear all that serious. What's more, the true freshman is buried on the Irish depth chart at signal caller, so he's unlikely to see the field even when fully healthy.

Splitting third-team reps in camp Carr (illness) is splitting third-team reps in preseason camp, Tyler James of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Now that Carr is healthy, he can re-focus on improving himself as a quarterback. The freshman is a project QB who has at least some potential of being Notre Dame's primary option during 2025, when Riley Leonard should have maximized his collegiate eligibility.

Out ill Tuesday Carr was out for practice Tuesday due to an illness, Mike Berardino of The South Bend Tribune reports.

Impact Considering the extent of Carr's current illness is unknown, it is unclear when he will be available again. For now, his availability status is questionable for Notre Dame's game at Texas A&M on Aug. 31.
