For the Ducks, it's a first-look at who the team could be getting back from injury, as key players have been out like receivers Evan Stewart, Dakorien Moore and Gary Bryant Jr. Oregon quarterback Dante Moore and the Ducks offense has found a way to win despite these key injured players but a return for the most crucial time of the season would be paramount.

Injuries To Oregon's Wide Receiver Room

Oregon’s wide receiver room have been battered with injuries this season. The injury bug bit this group before the season began with Evan Stewart going down over the summer with a knee injury.

Some good news regarding these three players is that all were seen earlier this week on the field practicing. Ducks coach Dan Lanning spoke to reporters after practice and addressed this.

Evan Stewart

Evan Stewart was expected to be Oregon’s No.1 option in the passing game this season. Unfortunately for Stewart, he never got a chance to prove that. He suffered a torn patellar tendon in the offseason which has kept him off the field this entire season.

With Oregon now in the playoff, they hope that the extra time off will give Stewart the opportunity to play.

Dakorien Moore

Dakorien Moore was Oregon’s highest rated recruit in the class of 2025. Moore has shown why he was rated five-stars out of high school. In eight games this season as a true freshman, he has 28 receptions for 443 yards and four total touchdowns.

Moore suffered a injury in practice in late October and has missed the Ducks last four games.

Gary Bryant Jr.

Another weapon that is battling through injury is Gary Bryant Jr. Bryant suffered an ankle injury in the Ducks road win against the Iowa Hawkeyes in early November. He has not played since, missing the past three games.

This is Bryant’s sixth season in college football now in his third season in Eugene after being with the USC Trojans form 2020-2022. In 2025, he has 25 receptions for 299 yards and four touchdowns.
