Oregon Ducks' Dan Lanning Addresses Jordan James Injury After Beating Maryland
Lanning Provides Update on James' Status
Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning provided an update on the status of running back Jordan James after the team's victory over Maryland. James left the game in the first half with an apparent leg injury.Lanning said that James is "day-to-day" and that the team will continue to evaluate him. He added that James is "a tough kid" and that he is "hopeful" that he will be able to return to the lineup soon.
James' Injury a Blow to Oregon's Offense
James is a key part of Oregon's offense, leading the team in rushing yards and touchdowns. His absence would be a significant blow to the Ducks' hopes of winning the Pac-12 Championship Game and making the College Football Playoff.
The Ducks have a bye week before their next game against Utah on November 12. Lanning said that he hopes James will be able to return to practice by then.
Other Injuries for the Ducks
In addition to James, the Ducks are also dealing with injuries to several other key players, including quarterback Bo Nix and wide receiver Troy Franklin. Nix is expected to miss the rest of the season with a foot injury. Franklin is also expected to miss the Utah game with a shoulder injury.
Despite the injuries, the Ducks have managed to win their last two games and are now 8-2 on the season. They will need to continue to find a way to win without James if they want to achieve their goals this season.
