Oregon football news: Jeremiah McClellan out for foreseeable future with broken foot

Oregon wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan will be sidelined for an indefinite period following a broken foot suffered during pregame warmups before Friday's 84-0 victory against Portland State. The injury has removed the Ducks' leading receiver from their lineup just before they commence their Big Ten season against No. 12 ranked USC Trojans on Saturday.

McClellan had contributed seven catches for 170 yards and a touchdown in the team's first two games. After the Portland State game, head coach Dan Lanning confirmed the diagnosis of a broken foot, stating that the junior wide receiver is out indefinitely. Lanning did not provide a specific timeline for McClellan's return, but emphasized that the severity of the injury does not rule him out for the entire season.

McClellan's absence adds to the challenges faced by an already injured Oregon offense, which includes a tight end issue. The Ducks will need to rely on Evan Stewart and Dakorien Moore to cover the receiving corps as they prepare for their upcoming Big Ten opener.
