MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) - Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly says defensive end Kapron Lewis-Moore has a ``significant'' leg injury.

Lewis-Moore injured his right leg and had to be helped off the field in the first half of Monday night's 42-14 loss to Alabama in the BCS championship game.

Kelly didn't provide specifics for the senior's condition.

Lewis-Moore missed the last six games of the 2011 season with a knee injury. He started 12 games this season and had six sacks.
