Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman said Friday that he continues to prepare for wide receiver Malachi Toney despite the player undergoing ankle surgery earlier this week.

Freeman indicated that Toney remains part of the team's offensive plans as the Fighting Irish prepare for their upcoming game. The coach did not specify a timeline for Toney's return but emphasized that the staff is readying packages that include the receiver.

Toney, a key contributor in the passing game, suffered the injury during practice last week. The surgery was described as successful, but his availability for the next contest remains uncertain.
