Oregon’s Wide Receiver Room Battling Injuries

Oregon has been hampered with injuries all season at wide receiver. Before the regular season kicked off, the expected No. 1 option Evan Stewart suffered a torn patellar tendon in practice. This was a devastating blow for Stewart and the Ducks. He has not played in any of Oregon’s 13 games this year.

As the season progressed, the wide receiver room got thinner. Freshman Dakorien Moore went down with an injury in late October and didn’t play in another game until Oregon’s playoff win over James Madison.

Additionally, Oregon was down wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr., who got injured in the Ducks’ win on the road against the Iowa Hawkeyes in early November. Bryant was active for the James Madison Game.

Some good news for the Ducks is that Moore and Bryant are both not listed on the injury report this week, meaning they look to be a full go after getting a week and a half off. These two have combined for 54 catches, 747 receiving yards, and eight total touchdowns.

The bad news for Oregon is there will be no Evan Stewart. He was not seen at practice that was open to the media this week. This is contrary to the James Madison practice week as Stewart was seen there. He is out vs. Texas Tech.

Trey McNutt Debut?

The freshman defensive back Trey McNutt has not played in a game to this point in the season due to injury, but finds himself listed as questionable for Texas Tech. It looks like there is an outside chance the highly touted class of 2025 recruit could finally make his Oregon debut.

McNutt was rated as a four-star recruit out of Cleveland, Ohio. The 6-0, 195 pound McNutt was ranked as the No. 4 safety in the class of 2025 according to 247Sports. McNutt signed with Oregon, joining a loaded recruiting class.

Before the 2025 Oregon season even got underway, McNutt suffered a broken leg. This was extremely disappointing for McNutt and the Ducks. Despite being just a freshman, there was a chance for him to be a contributor this season. Time will tell if McNutt will be able to take the field at some point this season.

Jordon Davison, Theran Johnson Not Listed On Injury Report

In addition to Moore and Bryant Jr. not being listed, the same is true for running back Jordon Davison and defensive back Theran Johnson.
