Oregon injury update ahead of Pac-12 title game
It looks as though the Oregon Ducks will, essentially, be at full strength for tonight’s Pac-12 title game.
Every Oregon player who was questionable to play this week was seen in uniform and went through warmups in Las Vegas ahead of No. 10 Oregon’s rematch with No. 17 Utah.
Tight end/edge rusher DJ Johnson, who missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury, is full-go. Ditto for cornerback Mykael Wright, who left midway through Oregon’s win over Oregon State last weekend with an apparent injury.
Linebacker Noah Sewell is also good-to-go.
Defensive tackle Keyon Ware-Hudson and linebacker Keith Brown are both absent, as both are dealing with injuries.
Mario Cristobal said last week there are a handful of players dealing with long-term injuries who could potentially be available to play in a bowl game.
He did not mention any particular names, but based on injury timelines Cristobal provided in recent interviews, that group could potentially include defensive back Bennett Williams, running back Sean Dollars, and linebacker Dru Mathis.
None of those players, or any other Ducks dealing with long-term injuries, are making healthy returns to the field tonight, though.
