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.
LB Jestin Jacobs
Status: Questionable
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.
OL Nishad Strother
Status: Doubtful
Strothers has returned to practice, but he’s still wearing regular shoes and not cleats as he rehabs from injury.
WR Kris Hutson
Status: Questionable
Hutson has been at all practices, but he didn’t travel to Texas Tech and has yet to see the field this season.
LB Logan Taylor (Hawaii)
Status: Out
Hawaii coach Timmy Chang announced linebacker Logan Taylor tore his ACL in the win over Albany. He’s out for the season.
RB Landon Sims
Status: Questionable
Hawaii’s tailback went down with an undisclosed injury last week, and we don’t know if he’ll make the trip to Eugene or play.
