There a lot of things a team wants to accomplish in their spring game and one of the main ones is to get everyone out of there relatively healthy.
For the most part, the Oregon Ducks football team managed to not have any major injuries. While starting running back Byron Cardwell was dressed for the game, he didn’t end up taking any snaps for precautionary reasons.
The only other worrisome moment inside Autzen Stadium Saturday afternoon was when center Jackson Powers-Johnson was rolled up from behind and he left the game with an apparent knee injury.
“Yeah, it was precautionary there with Byron. With JPJ, it looks like he’s gonna be okay,” Lanning said. “We’re gonna continue to get the medical professionals’ evaluation on it but it sounds like he’s okay. I got to see him right there in the locker room after.”
Although Power-Johnson was in a leg brace, he didn’t need crutches after the game. The extent of the knee ailment isn’t quite known as of yet, but head coach Dan Lanning said that his center seems to be okay.
The training staff will continue to monitor him with doctors, but it seems Powers-Johnson has avoided a catastrophic injury and hopefully he’ll be fine when the Ducks take the field on Sept. 3 against Georgia.
