The Oregon Ducks are currently ranked as the No. 1 team in the nation with an 11-0 record, aiming for their 12th win against the Washington Huskies on Saturday. However, injuries have been challenging for the Ducks this season, with key players like Tez Johnson, Jordan Burch, Marcus Harper II, and others missing time on the field. There is hope for some players to return for the Washington game, but official confirmation will come with the release of the injury report before the matchup.
Tez Johnson, a wide receiver, posted on Instagram hinting at his return after missing time due to a shoulder injury sustained in a previous game. Coach Dan Lanning has expressed optimism about Johnson’s return. Defensive end Jordan Burch has also faced injuries this season, missing several games, but his participation in limited practice activities indicates a possible return against Washington. Offensive lineman Marcus Harper II was also injured but is expected to make a comeback soon.
In addition, other players like Jahlil Florence, Matthew Bedford, My’Keil Gardner, Dakoda Fields, Khamari Terrell, and Zach Grisham have been sidelined due to injuries throughout the season. Fans are eagerly waiting to see when these players will return to the field. Despite the challenges, the Ducks remain determined to maintain their winning streak and secure another victory in the upcoming rivalry game.
