Dan Lanning says Ducks LB Brayden Platt will miss significant time

Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning announced that linebacker Brayden Platt will be sidelined for an extended period due to an injury suffered during the spring. Platt has been absent from fall camp, and Lanning indicated that it is uncertain when he will return. The Ducks already face challenges at linebacker after the offseason departure of leading tackler Bryce Boettcher. Platt has previously played special teams and stepped in at running back last season due to injuries. Veterans Jerry Mixon and Devon Jackson are expected to lead the linebacking corps in Platt's absence.
