Fall Ball Takeaways: Pair of notable defensive linemen not accounted for

The most pressing information that came out of the portion of Oregon Ducks practice that was open to media members on Friday afternoon had to to with the absence of a pair of notable defensive linemen.

Neither Popo Aumavae nor Keyone Ware-Hudson was accounted for during the 20 minutes of practice that media members were able to watch. Aumavae is a projected started on the DL, and Ware-Hudson has had some major contributions over the past couple of years as well.

There were also two offensive players missing from the first part of practice: WR Justius Lowe and OL Michael Wooten. This is the second practice in a row where Lowe has not been spotted by media members.

The Ducks will hold their first scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday afternoon, but that event is closed to media members, so we will not be able to take attendance and see if either of the four aforementioned players are suited up and partaking in activities. We will get a chance to talk to head coach Dan Lanning after the scrimmage, though, so he will likely be asked about their availability.

Spring Ball Takeaways: Ducks move indoors for 10th practice of spring season

A couple of projected starters were absent from Thursday’s Oregon practice on Thursday. Our full practice report here.

We are a little bit over a week away from the Oregon Ducks kicking off the annual spring game on April 29 inside Autzen Stadium. It has been clear that with that date on the horizon, the energy in practice has ramped up along with the preparation.

On Thursday morning, Dan Lanning and the Ducks got back after it, this time inside the Moshofsky Center due to inclimate weather. They once again went through stretching, special teams drills, and modified tackling drills. While the players were in shoulder pads and shorts, the energy was high and the pads were thumping.

Here are some of our biggest takeaways from the practice:
