'I'll be back soon;' Dante Moore updates fans after scary injury

Dante Moore, Oregon Ducks quarterback, is recovering positively after a concerning concussion suffered during a game against the USC Trojans. On Monday, Moore took to his Instagram to express his gratitude to fans and the community for their support, concluding with his reassurance, "I'll be back soon." The Oregon quarterback shared that the past two days have been challenging, but his faith kept him going, quoting Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

During the second quarter of the game, Moore took a significant hit to the head while sliding after a scramble. He immediately assumed a "fencing pose," a common sign of a severe concussion. Moore remained on the field for 12 minutes surrounded by medical trainers before being taken off the turf, loaded onto a stretcher, and transported to a local hospital via ambulance.

Following the incident, Oregon head coach Dan Lanning confirmed that Moore's MRIs and CT scans were clean, with no injuries beyond the concussion sustained during the play. The timeline for Moore's return to the field remains uncertain, but the team is closely monitoring his progress.
