Per Matt Freeman of Irish Sports Daily, defensive end Jordan Botelho suffered a pectoral injury during a workoff that occurred off campus. Botelho, who suffered a season-ending knee injury against Purdue last September, was cleared for summer workouts.
“However, his (Botelho’s) return will now be delayed after suffering a pectoral injury during offseason training away from campus,” Freeman wrote. “Botelho underwent surgery last week, and according to a source, his recovery is expected to take approximately four months.
“The 6-foot-3, 261-pounder recorded 12 tackles and a sack in just 2.5 games last season and appeared to be on a path toward the NFL before the injury.”

The timeline means Botelho is expected to miss key games against Miami on Aug. 31 and Texas A&M on Sept. 13.
Botelho, a senior from Honolulu, Hawaii, has appeared in 50 games for the Irish since 2020. The six-foot-three, 258 pound athlete has recorded 77 tackles, 11.5 sacks, and 15 tackles for loss during his five seasons.
Per Our Lads, Boubacar Traore was listed behind Botelho on the depth chart. The sophomore from Boston has recorded 10 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles, and one Interception during his first two years in South Bend.
