Quarterback Dante Moore returned to Oregon practice on Monday, two weeks after sustaining a concussion against USC. Coach Dan Lanning confirmed Moore wore pads and threw footballs, calling it "great to see him back out there with his teammates." Though Lanning did not confirm Moore's availability for the Saturday game against No. 21 UCLA, he indicated the Big Ten injury report would provide clarity. If Moore cannot play, former Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola would get his first official start for the No. 13 Ducks.
Moore entered the season as a Heisman contender and preseason top NFL draft pick. Through four games, he has thrown for 926 yards and nine touchdowns. Lanning emphasized protecting Moore's long-term health, stating they would "do what is best for the QB's long-term health.".
