Overview
- Moore returned to team practice Monday, wearing a helmet and shoulder pads and throwing with teammates, a step Oregon coach Dan Lanning called encouraging.
- Moore has been in concussion protocol since the Sept. 26 hit at USC that left him stretchered off and taken to a Los Angeles hospital.
- Oregon reported MRI and CT scans found no injuries beyond the concussion, but the program will follow staged return-to-play steps and require medical clearance before he can play.
- If Moore is not cleared for Saturday’s game against No. 21 UCLA, Nebraska transfer Dylan Raiola—who threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns in relief against USC—would be the likely starter.
- The hit that injured Moore drew an on-field targeting ejection and a later suspension for USC linebacker Desman Stephens II, and Moore’s status adds extra attention because he began his college career at UCLA before transferring to Oregon.
