Oregon reveals availability report ahead of Week 14 matchup with Washington
Published:
Oregon is gearing up for a Week 14 matchup against rival Washington. The Ducks head into the matchup with an 11-0 record and are looking to remain perfect as they enter the College Football Playoff.
Ahead of the matchup, the Ducks revealed their availability report. Only 2 players who weren’t already out for the season are out for this game: Jahlil Florence and Tionne Gray. Jordan Burch, Marcus Harper II, My’Keil Gardner, and Keyon Ware-Hudson are all listed as questionable.
Perhaps the most important takeaway is a name that is not on the report- Tez Johnson. The star receiver has not played since the Ducks’ game against Michigan at the beginning of November. The WR had previously hinted that he’d rejoin the lineup during the bye week.
Johnson leads the Ducks in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns even while missing 2 games with injury. The star has caught 64 passes for 649 yards and 8 TDs and is a crucial part of the Ducks’ offense.
Burch is the other big name to mention here. The star edge rusher is 2nd on the team with 6 sacks and also has 25 tackles and 5 pass deflections. The star pass rusher hasn’t played since November 9 against Maryland due to an ankle injury.
With Johnson playing, the Ducks will be close to full strength if Burch can also go. However, the Ducks have the Big Ten Championship Game and the College Football Playoff to prepare for as well.
The Ducks and Huskies will kick off from Autzen Stadium on Saturday at 4:30 pm PT.
