Will Abdul Carter play in Penn State vs Notre Dame? What we know about his injury before kickoff.

Abdul Carter has been a huge part of Penn State’s defense this season, as the junior defensive end has compiled 11 sacks and two forced fumbles.

But he suffered an injury in the win over Boise State back on New Year’s Eve.

So you might be wondering: will Carter play on Thursday in the College Football Playoff semifinal against Notre Dame? Here’s what we know right now.

Head coach James Franklin said he would “anticipate” Cater playing, although he’ll be a game-time decision. That could mean he’s in … or he’s out. Stay tuned to see if he’s playing or not ahead of Thursday night.
