CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Wide receiver DaVaris Daniels is expected to miss at least the rest of the regular season after suffering a shoulder injury during Notre Dame's 21-6 win Saturday night over Boston College.
Daniels' father, former 15-year NFL player Phillip, tweeted in two separate posts that the Irish will be without DaVaris for a little while and he could return for the bowl game.
Good win by the #Irish but we will be without DaVaris for a little while. Keep him in your prayers. #GoIrish

DaVaris will get healthy and be back for bowl game. Headed to the hotel to order some things to help with the healing. #SpecialRemedy

Daniels' left shoulder was in a sling after the game. Coach Brian Kelly said that Daniels suffered a shoulder injury and would be evaluated.
Daniels came down hard in the end zone on a third-quarter deep ball that fell incomplete.
He was taken to the locker room afterward. His replacement, John Goodman, caught an 18-yard touchdown pass on the same drive.
Daniels has 25 catches this season for 375 yards.
