Notre Dame Loses Former Five-Star Transfer WR Quincy Porter For Rest Of Season

Will undergo season-ending surgery Porter (kneecap) will undergo season-ending surgery, Pete Sampson of The Athletic reports.

Impact By undergoing season-ending surgery, Porter is finished with his 2026 season before it could even begin. He transferred from another top program, Ohio State, to Notre Dame for more opportunities without drastically changing the tier of his football team. Without him available, to pair up with Jordan Faison and Micah Gilbert, supplemental options like Mylan Graham, Jaden Greathouse and others will have to pick up the slack.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Remains weeks away from debut Porter remains a couple weeks away from playing and still isn't practicing with the offense, Pete Sampson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porter has yet to play this season, and Thursday's update indicates his return is not imminent. Notre Dame will continue to be without the wide receiver for at least the near term while he progresses in his recovery.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out for Purdue game Porter (kneecap) is out for Notre Dame's tilt with Purdue in Week 4, per Pete Sampson of The Athletic.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Won't face Spartans Porter (kneecap) will remain out for Week 3 against Michigan State, per Notre Dame writer Matt Freeman.

Impact Porter missed the first two games of the season and he'll remain sidelined as the Fighting Irish take on another Big Ten opponent in Week 3. Notre Dame will continue to rely heavily on Jordan Faison at wideout.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out for Week 2 Porter (kneecap) will remain out for Notre Dame's game against Rice in Week 2, per Notre Dame writer Matt Freeman.

Impact Porter missed the Irish's Week 1 win over Wisconsin, and he'll now sit out a second straight game. Expect CJ Carr to continue to heavily target wideout Jordan Faison in Week 2 in what should be a blowout win over the Owls.

SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Week 1 Porter (kneecap) will not play in Sunday's game against Wisconsin, Kyle Kelly of On3.com reports.

Remains 'a couple weeks out' from playing Porter underwent a medical procedure on his knee and remains "a couple weeks out" from playing, per Pete Sampson of The Athletic.

Impact The phrase "a couple weeks out" likely puts Porter's return after the Irish open the season against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The Ohio State transfer wideout is expected to hold down a starting role for Notre Dame this fall, but it appears he could miss the start of the season. In his stead, expect Micah Gilbert and Mylan Graham to see more snaps.

Training but full return unclear Porter (kneecap) is training, but his full return from injury is still unclear, Pete Sampson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porter's progress shows he still has a legitimate, even favorable, chance to suit up for Week 1 against Wisconsin. The issue is that Porter's return date remains unclear, so his injury status remains probable as Notre Dame's prepares to begin its 2026 season.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Still limited during fall camp Porter (kneecap) is still limited for Notre Dame's fall camp, Pete Sampson of The Athletic reports.

Impact Notre Dame's fall camp continued Wednesday, so if the wide receiver is experiencing a physical recovery, it is happening slowly. The wide receiver may remain probable for Sept. 9, but if he there is little to no public progress on his recovery, his injury status may be downgraded.

Limited to open training camp Porter (kneecap) will be limited to open training camp, according to Pete Sampson of The Athletic.

Impact The wideout missed spring practice after transferring from Ohio State and also missed time after undergoing left knee patellar surgery. Porter figures to be a starter in the Fighting Irish's passing attack, but in order to compete for a steady role, he has to be healthy first. His progression in the upcoming weeks will determine whether the sophomore wideout will be ready to play in the season opener against Wisconsin on Sep. 6.

Impact Porter didn't participate in the Fighting Irish's spring camp since he was recovering from a kneecap surgery after sustaining an injury when he was at Ohio State. It remains to be seen how healthy he'll be at the start of the fall camp, but he has approximately six weeks to get ready before the Fighting Irish open their season against Wisconsin on Sunday, Sep. 6.

JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable for spring Porter (kneecap) is out for Notre Dame's spring practice, Angelo Di Carlo of SportsMachiana.com reports.

Impact Porter's left patella, kneecap, was injured during his time at Ohio State. He used his time in the transfer portal to undergo surgery, which should help the knee recover before Notre Dame's 2026 season gets underway. The question becomes whether or not Porter will be good by fall camp.
