Overview
- Moore suffered a concussion on Sept. 26 after a high hit by USC’s Desman Stephens II that left him stretchered off and taken to a Los Angeles hospital.
- The Ducks said MRI and CT scans showed no other structural injuries and Moore returned to practice on Oct. 5 wearing a helmet and shoulder pads and throwing with the team.
- The Big Ten availability report released Oct. 7 officially listed Moore as out for the Oct. 10 UCLA game and multiple outlets reported he was unlikely to play.
- Backup Dylan Raiola, who relieved Moore against USC and completed 19 of 25 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns, is expected to make his first start for Oregon.
- The decision highlights Oregon’s cautious, protocol-driven approach to concussions and renews debate over targeting enforcement after Stephens’s ejection and subsequent suspension.
