Oregon Ducks Injury Updates vs. Oklahoma State: Emmanuel Pregnon Status

• Evan Stewart, wide receiver
• Trey McNutt, defensive back

Emmanuel Pregnon

Offensive tackle Emmanuel Pregnon left the season opener with an apparent lower leg injury. Per Big Ten Network's Brooke Fletcher, Pregnon was rolled up on, and he did not return in the second half despite warming up with the team.

Pregnon was one of the top offensive linemen in the transfer portal, coming from the USC Trojans. He appeared in 13 games last season and could have entered the 2025 NFL Draft before transferring to Oregon.

Since the conclusion of the game, there have been no updates on Pregnon’s injury status, and it will be something to monitor throughout the week. Given he warmed up with the team ahead of the second half, there are positive signs for the Oklahoma State game, but it will be a wait-and-see.

Theran Johnson

Cornerback Theran Johnson was expected to make his debut for Oregon against the Montana State Bobcats, but he was listed as out ahead of the game. Johnson was seen with his right knee taped during an individual workout ahead of the game. 

Johnson transferred to Oregon from Northwestern and is expected to make a big impact on the team. He played in each game for the Wildcats in 2024, logging two interceptions. With missing the season opener, his status for game two will be something to monitor throughout the week. 

Oregon Players to Monitor

• Dillon Gresham, wide receiver
• Dorian Brew, defensive back
• Bryce Boulton, offensive lineman
• Jack Ressler, wide receiver
• Dylan Williams, linebacker
• Brayden Platt, linebacker

Linebackers Dylan Williams and Brayden Platt entered the game questionable, while the rest were ruled out. There were no official reasons given for the list of players, and it will be something to watch for as the next game approaches.

Oklahoma State Cowboys Injuries

• Rodney Fields Jr. - Questionable
• Hauss Hejny - Out
• Talyn Shettron - Out (ACL Tear)

Oklahoma State quarterback Hauss Hejny suffered a foot injury that required surgery following the Cowboys' season opener. Quarterback Zane Flores came into the game following Hejny’s injury, finishing 13-of-20 for 136.

Oregon’s defense has a chance to make a statement against Oklahoma State as the Ducks look to start the season 2-0. Despite the injuries to Pregnon and Johnson, Oregon walked out of its season opener fairly healthy. 

Scoring 59 points gave the team the chance to pull some starters, including quarterback Dante Moore, who made a big impression in his first game as the Ducks starting quarterback.

The Oregon Ducks and the Oklahoma State Cowboys will kick off on Sept. 6 at 12:30 p.m. PT.
