If Evan Stewart is going to return to the field this season, it’s unlikely to be in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
The Oregon receiver, who has missed the whole season recovering from a torn right meniscus, was downgraded to doubtful for Saturday’s game between the No. 5 Ducks and No. 12 seed James Madison.
It’s not a surprising development, as Stewart appeared limited during the open portion of Monday’s practice.
Receivers Dakorien Moore (knee) and Gary Bryant Jr. (ankle) are listed as questionable for a third straight day, as are cornerback Sione Laulea and safety Trey McNutt (leg).
Moore posted “back” to social media on Thursday and Laulea indicated he was returning to play as well.
No. 12 James Madison (12-1) at No. 5 Oregon (11-1)
