Oregon Ducks wide receiver Traeshon Holden suffered an injury in the first quarter against the Maryland Terrapins. Holden caught a third-down pass from quarterback D illon Gabriel for 10 yards, but the receiver stayed down after the play.

Holden exited the field with some help from the Oregon athletic trainers. When down on the field, the wide receiver was rubbing his right leg. His helmet came off during the play, but the injury did not appear to be related to the head.

As the Ducks led 14-3 in the second quarter, Holden was back on the field with the Oregon offense.

Big Ten Network sideline reporter Brooke Fletcher provided an update on Holden's injury.

"He put a pad on his right quad there for some extra protection guys," reported Fletcher on the broadcast. "I saw him hit the training table, punched it a few times. . . . He's clearly frustrated with what's transpired."

He was up and moving on the Ducks' sideline as the Oregon offense scored its first touchdown of the game. Running back Jordan James found the end zone on a three-yard touchdown rush.

The Ducks are already dealing with injuries to the wide receiver room. Leading pass-catcher Tez Johnson injured his shoulder against the Michigan Wolverines and is expected to be out for a few more weeks.

Wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr. made his season debut against Maryland, dealing with an offseason injury that caused him to miss the first nine games of the season. After Ducks wide receiver Evan Stewart muffed the first punt of the game, Bryant Jr. received the next punt for Oregon.

At the end of the first quarter, Oregon is leading Maryland 7-3 in Autzen Stadium.
