Injury Report: Jestin Jacobs is closer to making his Duck debut

The Oregon Ducks injury report is still relatively small as they enter the third game of the season with Hawaii. However, it would be nice to have those on the list back on the field and contributing in the near future with conference play on the horizon.

And the injured aren’t backups and true freshmen. They figure to play a big role in the 2023 season and it’s just a matter of time before they do just that.

But the Ducks aren’t the only ones dealing with bumps and bruises. Hawaii will be missing a team captain and linebacker not only for this game, but for the rest of the season. It was a defense that was already having its share of problems and losing a player the caliber of Logan Taylor doesn’t help the cause.

Here’s the injury list for the Hawaii-Oregon game set for Saturday.

Jacobs was at a couple of practices this week, but missed others. It’s unlikely he will play this week as he continues to grow healthier.
