Oregon WR Evan Stewart Missed Game vs. Nebraska

Stewart, one of the team’s most prominent offensive players, was not active in the Ducks’ latest victory over Nebraska. The receiver was ruled out with an undisclosed injury after he was originally listed as questionable on the injury report, later downgraded to “doubtful.”

He currently leads the Ducks receiving corps with 27 catches for 352 yards, reaching the end zone four times this season. The last time he took the field, Stewart was a bright spot in the team’s shocking 17-15 loss to the UCLA Bruins, reeling in five receptions for 74 yards and a 44-yard touchdown that gave Oregon a chance at coming out on the right side of the win column.
