Up until now, the injury news has been quite light for the Oregon Ducks. They were without defensive end Jordan Burch for the Ohio State and Purdue contests, while tight end Terrance Ferguson was out last week.
Thankfully for Oregon, it came out victorious in both games. But the Ducks are significantly better with those two on the field. In his weekly press conference ahead of the Illinois game, Dan Lanning gave an update on if Burch and/or Ferguson will be available to face the Fighting Illini on Saturday.
Terrance Ferguson injury update
Ferguson missed the Purdue game with an illness.
“We’ll wait as the season goes and as the week goes to see where those guys (Burch, Ferguson and Matthew Bedford) are at and if they are available for us,” Lanning said
How long will Ferguson be out?
Lanning said it’s a week-by-week situation.
Oregon tight end depth chart
The Ducks still have Kenyon Sadiq and Patrick Herbert on the roster. Sadiq is thought to be the short-term replacement for Ferguson on the depth chart.
Jordan Burch injury update
Burch has missed the last two games with what is thought to be a minor knee injury.
How long will Burch be out?
Lanning said it’s a week-by-week thing with Burch. He could return this week or it might be a few weeks. We’ll have to wait and see.
Oregon defensive end depth chart
Jamaree Caldwell, A’mauri Washington and Derrick Harmon will most likely receive more playing time. Caldwell has particularly stood out in recent weeks.
Matthew Bedford injury update
The Indiana transfer has been limited in the first half of the season. He has been hampered by a knee injury.
How long will Bedford be out?
Lanning said it’s a day-to-day, week-to-week thing with Bedford.
Oregon offensive line depth chart
The Ducks’ offensive line is getting better as the season goes on. If the former All-Big Ten player gets healthy, it’ll be a big addition to the group.
