Overview
- Coach Dan Lanning said on Monday that Jeremiah McClellan suffered a broken foot during pregame warmups and will be out indefinitely.
- McClellan warmed up before the Portland State game on Sept. 18 but team medical staff ruled him out before kickoff and fitted him with a walking boot and crutches after an indoor evaluation revealed a fracture.
- He led Oregon early in 2026 with seven catches for 170 yards making his absence a loss of the team's primary deep threat for quarterback Dante Moore.
- The Ducks will shift targets to Evan Stewart and Dakorien Moore while increasing reps for Messiah Hampton, the tight end group and younger receivers during prep for the trip to USC.
- The injury tightens Oregon's margin for error because it comes just before Big Ten play and the program has not provided a recovery timetable for McClellan.
