Head coach Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks will begin the 2025 season ranked as the No. 7 team in the nation, as they are set to take on the Montana State Bobcats in Week 1.
The Ducks will be led by redshirt sophomore Dante Moore this season, and their 2025 recruiting class has been considered one of the best in the country. This has helped Oregon's preseason ranking rise significantly.
At the start of the 2025 season on Saturday, an injury report has been released for multiple Ducks players.
Ducks' injury report for season opener vs. Montana State
According to Zachary Neel of Ducks Wire, linebacker Devon Jackson, safety Kingston Lopa, tight end Roger Saleapaga, safety Trey McNutt, and wide receiver Evan Stewart are the five players on the injury report.
Devon Jackson has sat out with an undisclosed injury through the Ducks' spring game, but participated in fall scrimmages. His status is unknown, and there's uncertainty that the linebacker will suit up in Week 1.
Kingston Lopa has high expectations for the Ducks at the safety position this year. The redshirt freshman is expected to make a run for a starting spot this year, but it's unclear if he will be at full health for the season opener.
Roger Saleapaga is recovering from a torn ACL he sustained midway through the 2024 season. He's been making great progress from the major injury and will likely make his return in Week 1.
Trey McNutt suffered a broken leg in fall camp and is expected to be out for multiple weeks to begin the season. The five-star true freshman is expected to recover and make a return at some point in 2025.
Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart, projected to be one of the team's top targets this season, is dealing with a knee injury that could sideline him for all of 2025.
