Oregon Ducks, Washington Injury Report: Tez Johnson, Jordan Burch, Marcus Harper II
EUGENE — The Oregon Ducks remain the No. 1 team in the nation for the sixth consecutive week. The Ducks are 11-0 and aiming for their 12th win of the season on Saturday against the Washington Huskies in a highly anticipated rivalry game. However, injuries have plagued the Ducks in recent weeks.
Receiver Tez Johnson, defensive end Jordan Burch, offensive lineman Marcus Harper II, and others have missed time this season. While some players may be ready to return on Saturday, there has been no official confirmation from Oregon coach Dan Lanning, and updates won’t be available until the official injury report is released before the game.
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson announced on Tuesday that he may be ready to return to the field after sustaining a shoulder injury in Oregon’s victory over Michigan on November 2. The wide receiver shared the news on his Instagram story, posting a photo of himself dancing at Autzen Stadium with the caption, “He’s back.”
Following the injury, Oregon coach Dan Lanning addressed the situation, stating that surgery was not anticipated for Johnson.
“(Tez Johnson) will be down in the near future, but I do anticipate getting Tez back,” Lanning said at the time.
Johnson’s return is expected for the upcoming game against Washington. However, when asked about the Instagram post, Lanning said:
“Yeah, I’m not going to talk about injuries. You guys will see them on the field when they’re ready to go.”
Jordan Burch
Ducks pass rusher Jordan Burch has missed four games this season due to injuries, with the first occurring during practice before the matchup against Ohio State.
“I was doing a drill, my foot got stuck in the ground, and I had a little injury. It took a minute to figure out what was going on. Once they told me what it was and that I’d be out for a few weeks, I knew I’d be fine,” Burch explained. “I was a little sad, but I knew my guys had my back. I didn’t have any worries about what was going to happen.”
Burch suffered a second injury—an ankle issue—during Oregon’s 39–18 victory over Maryland and was sidelined for the Wisconsin game. Although the full extent of the injury remains unclear, Lanning shared ahead of the Wisconsin matchup that Burch had been participating in limited practice activities. This could signal his readiness for a return against Washington.
Marcus Harper II
Marcus Harper II, a fourth-year offensive lineman, sustained an apparent left knee injury during the final quarter of Oregon’s win over Michigan. He did not play in the following game against Wisconsin.
After the Michigan game, Coach Lanning expressed optimism about Harper’s recovery, stating that both Harper and Tez Johnson were expected to return this season. With an additional week of rest, Harper’s return for the Washington game seems likely.
“Neither one of those injuries are as bad as maybe they appeared on the field,” Lanning said. “I think we’ll have those guys back, but I don’t know when that looks like right now. But we’ll do what we always do: take care of the players and what’s in the best interest of them, and both those guys are fighting to get back as soon as we can have them.”
Jahlil Florence
Jahlil Florence, a junior defensive back, was a nine-game starter for the Ducks last season, but his 2023 season was cut short due to a knee injury sustained in November against Arizona State. Florence has been listed as out for every game so far this season. However, a post by the defensive back on social media has fans speculating that Florence may be ready to return to the field soon. He has also been participating in practice over the past few weeks.

Matthew Bedford
Offensive lineman Matthew Bedford has been out for most of the season with a knee injury. Bedford was projected to be a starter for the Ducks this season but has been limited to just a few snaps in Week 3 against Oregon State. Bedford has been listed as out in Oregon’s availability reports for the past eight games.
My’Keil Gardner
Redshirt freshman defensive lineman My’Keil Gardner has been sidelined all season with an undisclosed injury. While there is little information about the defensive lineman’s condition, Lanning commented on Gardner’s potential to play, saying:
“Possibly. We’ll continue to assess where he’s at and feel it out.”
Dakoda Fields
Defensive back Dakoda Fields has also been out all season with a knee injury, and no timetable has been provided for his return.
Khamari Terrell
Khamari Terrell, another defensive back, has missed most of the season and has not traveled with the team for away games. He was listed as out for the Wisconsin game and will likely miss the upcoming Washington matchup.
Zach Grisham
The redshirt sophomore defensive back has been sidelined since Oregon’s game against Boise State on Sept. 7. He has been officially listed as out for the past seven games, with no timeline provided for his return.

#6 Oregon State Falls Friday to Air Force, 9-6
A night removed from winning their series opener, two uncharacteristic fielding errors and a roughshod thirteen hits doomed Oregon State against the Air Force Falcons, 9-6.
The full box score can be viewed at this link, and our game recap can be read below.
The elder statesman of Oregon State’s pitching rotation, junior righty Eric Segura, forced a pair of groundouts to keep the top of the first scoreless. His strong start was followed by an Oregon State run in the bottom of the first. The Beavers’ opening run started with gold glover AJ Singer, who flashed his batting prowess by pinging a double to the warning track. Singer scored on a Paul Vasquez slash through 5.5 hole, and Oregon State led 1-0.
Air Force batters went down in order to begin the second inning. Their short stint at the plate was followed by another successful Oregon State frame. With one out and no one on, Josh Procter swung at the first pitch he saw. After his ball landed 399 feet away, Oregon State doubled their advantage.
As one might expect, the Air Force cadets showed perseverance against adversity and calmness under pressure. In the third inning, they seized the lead. Their four run rally started with a pair of singles. Then facing one out and runners at the corners, Falcons’ senior Ben Niednagel drew a walk to load the bases. The next man up, 2026 Preseason All-Mountain West catcher Walker Zapp slugged a bases-clearing double. With Oregon State suddenly trailing, pitching coach Rich Dorman met his starter Segura at the mound. After the meeting, a fielding error by first baseman Ethan Porter returned runners to the corners, and then Air Force senior Tripp Garrish reached on a fielder’s choice, inching Zapp home from third.
Singer answered with a solo homer in the bottom of the inning. His shot traveled 407 feet, and landed a few yards to the left of Goss Stadium’s batter’s eye. As if they were awoken by the blast, Oregon State roared back to life: with Porter on base after getting hit by a pitch, Vasquez singled, and then Bryce Hubbard rolled a tough groundout to short, moving both runners into scoring position. Following an Air Force pitching change, Adam Haight sent a one-hopper into the grass beyond second base. While the sophomore outfielder was thrown out trying to reach first, his effort scored Porter from third, tying the game 4-4.
Again, the Falcons responded. After Air Force loaded the bases, their senior two-batter Niednagel forced a fielding error on a sharply hit grounder to Singer at second. When the dust settled, two runs scored. In the ensuing moments, Oregon State pulled Segura off the mound, replacing him with 6’2″ righty Zach Edwards.
Segura, a key factor in Oregon State’s sweep of Long Beach State last weekend, struggled mightily tonight. When his shift ended after 3 and 1/3 innings, he had allowed 7 hits and 4 earned runs. The top of the fourth finished with his successor Edwards stranding two runners, while Oregon State clawed closer in the bottom frame thanks to a pair of wild pitches moving Tyler Inge across the bases.
However, the one-run margin wouldn’t last for long. Facing a 2-2 count with no outs in the top of the fifth inning, Air Force’s senior Garrish smoked a high, middle fastball. Once his strike returned to Earth, the cadets led 7-5.
Scoring stalled until the top of the seventh. Oregon State’s reliever Edwards cruised for 2 and 2/3, until a pair of singles invited his pitching coach to the mound, who called for another change. Out went Edwards, and in came Washington transfer Isaac Yeager. The consistently reliable 6’6″ right hander – with 40 strikeouts and just 22 hits allowed across 33 innings – couldn’t stop the bleeding tonight. His first batter faced, Tripp, delivered another Air Force run home on a slow roller up the middle.
Oregon State climbed closer in the bottom of the seventh, after Bryson Glassco singled up the middle, delivering the Huntington Beach native Porter home from second base. The base hit also placed Vasquez in a threatening position at third base, but a Haight groundout stranded Oregon State’s runner ninety feet away from the promised land.
Air Force denied the Beavers once again in the bottom of the eighth. Tying runner Easton Talt faced a 1-2 count with 2 outs and a teammate on first base. In one of the game’s biggest moments, Falcons’ reliever Gaines Estridge offered a sky-high outside fastball. Talt swung tight, striking out, and stranding the runner at first.
The cadets tacked on one more run in the top of the ninth, when center fielder Christian Taylor beat out a throw across the diamond, helping Walker Zapp race from third. Entering the bottom of the ninth, the Beavers needed three runs to tie. Unfortunately, Falcons’ closer Patrick Davidson struck out the side.
The loss snapped Oregon State’s eight game win streak, and moved their overall record to 42-12. More importantly, their postseason fate is now in jeopardy. The three-time national champions entered the weekend needing a sweep to solidify their RPI before the regular season ends. Tonight’s defeat – following a pattern of upset losses to Portland, UTRGV, Cal State Fullerton, and CSUN – puts a hypothetical Corvallis Regional host site at the mercy of the selection committee.
Oregon State concludes its regular season tomorrow afternoon against Air Force, with first pitch scheduled for 1:35 PM PST at Goss Stadium in Corvallis. The game broadcast will be televised on Portland’s CW, and radio play-by-play can be heard across the state on Beavers Sports Network affiliate stations.

Oregon health officials warn of measles exposure at Happy Valley clinic
HAPPY VALLEY, Ore. (KATU) — Health officials have identified a new measles exposure site in Happy Valley.
The Oregon Health Authority and Clackamas County public health officials said people may have been exposed at Providence Immediate Care – Happy Valley, 16180 S.E. Sunnyside Road, Suite 102, between 11:05 a.m. and 3:47 p.m. Tuesday, May 12.
Officials said anyone who was at the clinic during that time should notify a health care provider about the possible exposure. Providers can determine whether a person is immune to measles by reviewing vaccination records, age or laboratory evidence of a previous infection.
Health officials urged people to monitor for symptoms and seek medical advice if they believe they may have been exposed.
ABOUT MEASLES
Measles is a highly contagious respiratory virus that spreads through the air when an infected person breathes, speaks, coughs or sneezes. The virus can linger in the air for up to two hours and can infect up to 90% of unprotected close contacts. Complications can include pneumonia, brain inflammation and death.
Nationwide, measles cases have been rising since early 2025. Nearly 2,300 cases were reported last year, with most occurring among unvaccinated children.
Symptoms typically begin seven to 21 days after exposure and include cough, runny nose and conjunctivitis accompanied by a high fever. A rash usually follows, starting on the head or neck and spreading downward. People are contagious from four days before the rash appears until four days after.
A graphic from the Oregon Health Authority shows the symptoms of Measles.
HA advises health care providers to report suspected cases immediately and consider post-exposure treatment for exposed patients. The measles, mumps and rubella vaccine can be given within 72 hours of exposure. Immunoglobulin may be administered within six days.
For most people 6 months and older who are eligible for vaccination, receiving the MMR vaccine within 72 hours of exposure is recommended.
Anyone not protected against measles is at risk, according to OHA. The agency encourages residents to check their vaccination status and contact a health care provider with questions.
