The official injury report came out moments ago with 247Sports Erik Skopil posting it to X, and there's good news and bad news.

Dynamic freshman wideout Dakorien Moore is listed as out today, meaning the Ducks won't have their shiftiest and fastest receiver, their best deep threat.

The good news is, some of the other injury issues that leaked out on social media appear to be false alarms. There are no other new additions to the injury report, suggesting that 6-6, 330 right tackle Alex Harkey and 6-0, 236 running back Jordon Davison will be available today.

On a day the forecast calls for cold and rain, having Harkey's pancake toughness and Davison's physical punch in the ground game seem critical. Dante Moore will have to do with his other targets, which makes it doubly significant Kenyon Sadiq may be available.

Officially, Harkey and Sadiq are listed as questionable. Likely they will be gametime decisions. Evan Stewart is still listed as out.

The Oregon defense suddenly looks like the strength of the team, relatively intact with no significant additions to the injury report.

Update: James Crepea of the Oregon reports that Kenyon Sadiq is not warming up with the tight ends.
