Notre Dame's already thin secondary took a huge blow Monday as starting cornerback Lo Wood suffered a season-ending Achilles injury during practice, reports Brian Hamilton of the Chicago Tribune . The Fighting Irish have just one returning starter from last year's secondary on the team this season: senior safety Jamoris Slaughter. Wood, along with counterpart Bennett Jackson , were both expected to replace corners Robert Blanton and Gary Gray. Now coach Brian Kelly will be forced to start an underclassman with little-to-no experience, such as Jalen Brown , KeiVarae Russell or Josh Atkinson. Wood played in 21 games during his first two seasons with Notre Dame, compiling 10 tackles and an interception. Follow @Tyler_Waddell on Twitter
