Oregon Ducks’ Jordan Burch and Traeshon Holden injury update

Oregon Ducks defensive lineman Jordan Burch left the game with an apparent injury to his right leg in the second half against the Maryland Terrapins. Burch favored his left leg as he left the field. Burch suffered an injury in practice prior to the Ducks’ game with the Ohio State Buckeyes, but the elite defensive lineman was able to return to the field on Nov. 9 against the Michigan Wolverines. .

Oregon wide receiver Traeshon Holden went down with an injury in the first quarter against Maryland. Holden caught a third-down pass from quarterback Dillon Gabriel for 10 yards, but the receiver was left down after the play.

Holden left the field with some help from Oregon athletic trainers. While on the field, the wide receiver rubbed his right leg. His helmet came off during the play, but the injury did not appear to be head related.

When the Ducks led 14-3 in the second quarter, Holden was back on the field with Oregon’s offense.

Big Ten Network sideline reporter Brooke Fletcher provided an update on Holden’s injury.

“He put a pad on his right quad there for some extra protection, guys,” Fletcher reported on air. “I saw him hit the training table and hit it a few times. He is clearly frustrated by what has happened.”

He was on the Ducks’ sideline when the Oregon offense scored the first touchdown of the game. Running back Jordan James found the end zone on a three-yard touchdown rush.

The play that injured Holden was his first and only catch of the game so far. Running back Jordan James leads the Ducks with 26 receiving yards on one reception. James also has Oregon’s only offensive touchdown of the first half.

The Ducks are already dealing with injuries in the wide receiver room. Leading pass-catcher Tez Johnson injured his shoulder against the Michigan Wolverines and is out for the game against Maryland. Oregon fans are hoping Johnson can return in time for the end of the regular season.

Wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr. made his season debut against Maryland, where he dealt with an offseason injury that caused him to miss the first nine games of the season. After Ducks wide receiver Evan Stewart muffed the game’s first punt, Bryant Jr. the next kick for Oregon.

Oregon coach Dan Lanning was interviewed by Big Ten Network sideline reporter Brooke Fletcher before halftime.

“We can be a lot better. We’re not playing clean right now,” Lanning said when Fletcher asked about Oregon’s offensive performance. “According to our standard, we have a lot more in the tank with which we can now attack at half-time.”

Late in the first half, Oregon leads Maryland 21-10 at Autzen Stadium.
