Lindsey is in his first season with Purdue, transferring in from Auburn. He appeared in just one contest for the Tigers and ended the season with one tackle.

In addition to Lindsey, Purdue will once again be without multiple receivers, including De'Nylon Morrissette, who has yet to appear in a game for the Boilermakers. Below is the complete availability report for this weekend's game.

  • #5 Chauncey Magwood, wide receiver (senior)

  • #9 Jalil Hall, wide receiver (freshman)

  • #13 TJ Lindsey, defensive lineman (freshman)

Kickoff between Purdue and Notre Dame is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET and the game will air on NBC and Peacock. The Fighting Irish have won nine straight games in the rivalry series, with the Boilermakers last getting a win in 2007.
