Kayvon Thibodeaux in walking boot after injury in season opener

Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux, one of top prospects in the 2022 NFL draft, left Saturday’s season opener with an apparent leg injury

Oregon edge defender Kayvon Thibodeaux left Saturday’s season opener against Fresno State with a leg injury, and has been spotted on the sideline in street clothes and a walking boot.

The potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Thibodeaux has been one of the most dominant pass rushers in college football since his freshman season. He showed off that ability earlier in Saturday’s game with an impressive strip-sack.

It remains to be seen how serious this injury is, or how long it might keep Thibodeaux out of action.
