As the Oregon Ducks take the field and prepare for their Week 1 game against the Boise State Broncos, some significant injury news is being confirmed.
It appears that true freshman wide receiver Jalen Lott will miss this game for Oregon, as he was not seen with the rest of his teammates warming up. The Ducks also appear to be without WR Iverson Hooks, who came out for warm-ups in street clothes, not going through drills with the other pass-catchers.
Rumors swirled in fall camp that Lott was dealing with a hand injury suffered in practice, but we were not able to confirm it until seeing him in person. The timeline for his recovery is unknown, but head coach Dan Lanning may give clarity on that front after the game when asked.
Lott, a former 5-star recruit who was rated as the No. 19 overall player and No. 3 WR in the 2026 class, arrived in Eugene earlier this summer after completing his senior track and field season at Frisco Panther Creek in Texas.
While he was a bit behind the 8-ball in terms of getting up to speed on the playbook and cracking the wide receiver rotation, Lott's unreal athleticism acted as an early differentiator, allowing him to stand out during the first few practices of fall camp.
