Notre Dame has released its depth chart for its national championship matchup against Ohio State.

The Fighting Irish and Buckeyes will meet in Atlanta in less than a week’s time to play for the 2024 national title.

Here’s a look at Notre Dame’s updated depth chart for the national championship game:

Most notably, Tosh Baker and Charles Jagusah are listed as co-starters at the left tackle position. That role is a big question mark going into this game as starter Anthonnie Knapp suffered an ankle injury in the semifinal and has already been ruled out for this game against the Buckeyes.

Baker is a reserve offensive tackle who played sparingly this season. Jagusah was slated to be Notre Dame’s starting left tackle for the 2024 season until he suffered a serious injury in fall camp. He missed most of the 2024 season, but has played some at guard late in the year — including the semifinal against Penn State.

But now with Knapp’s injury, Jagusah is seemingly an option to return to the left tackle role. The good news for Notre Dame is that right guard Rocco Spindler seems to be healthy enough to play in the national championship game, which would free up Jagusah to move outside. Spindler has dealt with injury issues throughout the Playoffs.

Elsewhere on the injury front, Beaux Collins remains questionable for this game as he deals with a calf straight. He’s listed as a co-starter on the depth chart along with Jayden Thomas at wide receiver. Collins is Notre Dame’s second-leading receiver this season behind Jaden Greathouse.

Kickoff from Atlanta is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Jan. 20.
