Dante Moore injury update: Oregon QB takes major step before UCLA showdown

Dante Moore, the Oregon quarterback, has taken a significant step in his recovery from a concussion suffered during a game against USC. Moore returned to the practice field, participating in sessions wearing a helmet and shoulder pads, less than two weeks after his injury. Oregon coach Dan Lanning noted that Moore also threw the football during the session, marking an encouraging sign for the team.

However, the Ducks are maintaining a cautious approach before starting Moore, especially with a crucial game against ranked UCLA on the horizon. Lanning did not provide specifics on Moore's participation level during Monday's practice or his current standing in the concussion protocol. The Big Ten's availability report, scheduled for Wednesday evening, will offer the next major update on Moore's status.
