Overview

  • Reports from College Football Headlines on X suggest a torn patellar tendon may sideline Stewart for the season, but Oregon has yet to confirm the injury.
  • Stewart had been regarded as the Ducks’ primary receiving threat after losing Tez Johnson, Traeshon Holden and Terrance Ferguson to the NFL.
  • Freshman Dakorien Moore and former five-star recruit Jurrion Dickey are among the receivers poised to see increased roles if Stewart is sidelined.
  • Tight end Kenyon Sadiq is expected to take on a larger offensive role as questions mount over Oregon’s wide receiver depth.
  • The injury report also clouds Stewart’s draft year preparations, potentially affecting his NFL prospects.
