The Oregon Ducks could be getting one of their biggest defensive assets back just in time for bowl season.
After losing safety Bennett Williams earlier in the year to a broken fibula, head coach Mario Cristobal said on Monday that they expect Williams to be able to return for a bowl game later this season.
Cristobal said that Williams is not quite ready to play this coming week against Utah in the Pac-12 Championship, but he has made enough progress that they expect him to be ready in 2-3 weeks.
With all of the injuries that Oregon has suffered, particularly on the defensive side of the ball, this is a huge boost for the Ducks.
