2014 NDFB Fall Camp: Day 1 Recap

Notre Dame got the 2014 season started with day one of fall camp at Culver Academies in rural Indiana. Here's a quick rundown of the major topics the Notre Dame football community is discussing following the first practice:

Ronnie Stanley carted off field; Flashbacks to 2013 proved unfounded

#NotreDame's OL a little banged up today. Ronnie Stanley left field on cart. Colin McGovern iced his left knee for latter half of practice.

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly said OT Ronnie Stanley was carted off just to get an IV. "He's a big guy who needed some fluids." Otherwise OK.

Jarrett Grace's Level of Activity on Day 1

#NotreDame LB Jarrett Grace was limited in practice. Hit the blocking sled a couple times. No brace on knee. Much improved from June.
