One half hour before gametime, Noah Whittington has been upgraded to questionable ahead of the Civil War.

Dakorien Moore does not appear on the report, shared on social media by veteran Oregon beat writer Zachary Neel of USA Today/Ducks Wire.

Both players could be good to go today after participating in warmups. More importantly, they appear to be on track to suit up and play against Penn State in Happy Valley.

The Ducks are a 33.5-point favorite against Oregon State, three-point underdogs next week in Happy Valley.

Moore is in uniform during warmups, captured in the end zone by the cameras at the Big Ten Network.

Even with Moore available, the Ducks are experiencing a concerning run of injuries at the receiver position. Evan Stewart, Dillon Gresham and Justius Lowe are all out, and Jurrion Dickey announced a transfer to Sacramento State after being suspended in fall camp.

The Ducks depth and versatility is being tested, while Penn State is on a bye.
