Oregon Ducks Injury Report Delivers Clarity Before UCLA Bruins

The Oregon Ducks released their first injury report ahead of their Week 6 showdown with the UCLA Bruins, offering critical updates on key players following quarterback Dante Moore’s concussion against USC. Moore, who left the second quarter with a concerning hit, was listed as *out* but saw a glimmer of hope after participating in practice in full gear, including a helmet, this week.

Coach Dan Lanning emphasized the morale boost of seeing Moore active, though his return timeline remains uncertain. Meanwhile, backup quarterback Dylan Raiola—who stepped in for Moore against USC and led Oregon to a win with three touchdown passes—will likely start again, though the Ducks’ defense faces questions after listing two defensive backs, Aaron Scott Jr.

and Aaron Flowers, as *doubtful* or *questionable*. The team’s next injury update arrives Thursday, with Moore’s status the biggest variable heading into the UCLA matchup.

Beyond Moore, Oregon’s offense lost receiver Jeremiah McClellan and running back Simeon Price, while defensive linebacker Brayden Platt and offensive lineman Trent Ferguson were also ruled out. The Ducks’ next report, due Thursday at 5 p.m.

PT, will clarify whether Moore’s gradual return plan holds or if further setbacks arise. Raiola’s performance in Moore’s absence has given Oregon a temporary solution, but the long-term impact of Moore’s injury—and the defensive backfield’s depth—will define the Ducks’ chances against UCLA.
