Our extensive No. 12 USC vs. No. 20 Oregon preview
- Oregon lists tight ends Jamari Johnson and Kendre Harrison as questionable for the 2026 USC game, according to this preview. Johnson has missed the past two games with an undisclosed injury. The designations leave both players' availability unresolved; the report does not confirm either will play or give a return timetable.
- For the 2026 USC game, the writer projects Oregon's left-guard competition to remain between Douglas Utu, who started the opener, and Kawika Rogers, who started against Portland State, following Trent Ferguson's season-ending injury. This is the preview's assessment of the opening, not an announced starter or a guaranteed rotation.

Jeremiah McClellan suffered injury in warmups, status going forward unclear
- This Oregon report confirms Jeremiah McClellan missed Portland State after a pregame injury and was seen with crutches and a boot on his left foot. Lanning said evaluation was needed and provided no prognosis. It does not add a diagnosis or next-game availability update to the previously reported absence.
- Oregon tight end Jamari Johnson missed his second consecutive game. He participated with the tight ends about 90 minutes before kickoff but was in street clothes when play began. The article does not give a reason for the absence, a recovery timetable or a confirmed return date.
- Freshman Kendre Harrison started alongside Andrew Olesh in Oregon's tight-end group with Johnson absent. Harrison caught four passes for 53 yards and his first collegiate touchdown against Portland State; the start reflects that game's personnel usage, not an announced permanent replacement.
- Harrison left midway through the third quarter and did not return after visiting Oregon's sideline medical tent and then the locker room. The article reports that Lanning had no update afterward. It supplies no diagnosis, recovery timetable or confirmed availability for USC.

Everything Dan Lanning said ahead of Oregon’s road showdown with USC
- Ahead of USC, Dan Lanning said Oregon receiver Jeremiah McClellan broke his foot during pregame warmups against Portland State and will miss time. Lanning did not give a return date.
- Lanning said Carl Williams IV should return for Oregon against USC. Jalen Lott has resumed practicing, but Lanning does not expect him to play in that game; practicing again is not the same as confirmed game availability.
- Lanning put Oregon's Portland State pass rush in context: 37 defensive snaps, six dropback passes and about three quarterback hits, with cut protection and eight-man play-action protection limiting opportunities. He called USC a better test of the rush and did not treat the prior game's sack output alone as cause for concern.
