Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard, who transferred from Duke in December and is projected to start for the Irish this season, will miss some winter workouts following ankle surgery for an injury he sustained in the fall, a source told ESPN.
Leonard is expected to be cleared to fully participate before spring practice begins in March and could join the team for some of the winter workouts, the source said.
Leonard, who has one year of eligibility remaining, suffered a gruesome ankle injury Sept. 30 in Duke's loss to Notre Dame.
