Oregon vs. Maryland Football Injury Report: List of players injured ft. Tez Johnson and Gary Bryant Jr. ahead of Week 11 showdown
On Saturday at 7:00 p.m. ET, the No. 1 Oregon Ducks will face the Maryland Terrapins in a game they should easily win. The Terrapins have been plagued by injuries this season, with several players having been confirmed as out for this game.
On the other hand, Oregon, which has also been hampered by injuries, has interesting developments on the wide receiver front. Tez Johnson is officially out for this encounter following a shoulder injury against Michigan last week.
However, there's also an important potential return for the Ducks, who could count on Gary Bryant Jr. for the first time since mid-October.
The following is the injury report for both schools ahead of their clash.

Tez Johnson injury update
Johnson suffered a shoulder injury during the Ducks' victory over the Michigan Wolverines last week. Initially, it was thought that the injury could seriously hamper the receiver's ability to keep contributing this season.
That's not the case anymore, with coach Dan Lanning giving a far better prognosis on Monday to the press:
"[Johnson] will be down right now in the near future, but I do anticipate getting Tez back," he said.
However, that does mean the star wide receiver will be available for the game against the Terrapins. Johnson currently has 649 receiving yards with eight touchdowns, and he's averaging 10 yards per reception.
Gary Bryant Jr. injury update
Gary Bryant Jr. participated this week in practice. He remains questionable, but his return seems to come in just in time as Tez Johnson will be unavailable this Saturday.
Despite not confirming his participation in today's game, coach Dan Lanning gave an encouraging update on Wednesday:
"I know he wants to be out there, right now he looks in position to be able to help us."
In 2023 Gary Bryant Jr. had 442 yards and 4 touchdowns in 30 catches for the Ducks.
