Oregon running back Jordon Davison will be sidelined for at least the beginning of the 2026 season following an injury sustained during fall camp. Davison, a key offensive player who contributed 667 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns as a freshman, is expected to be out for six to eight weeks. His injury comes after a season-ending broken collarbone in the previous year's College Football Playoff quarterfinal. In Davison's absence, Oregon will rely on returning backs Dierre Hill Jr. and Da'Juan Riggs, along with transfer Simeon Price, to fill the void. The Ducks aim to maintain their national title aspirations despite this setback.
