Oregon wide receiver Byron Marshall’s season is likely over.
Fentress did note the specifics of Marshall’s injury have not been revealed yet, making it impossible to definitively report whether or not he will return to the field before Oregon’s season ends.
On Wednesday Aaron Fentress from Comcast Sporsnet Northwest reported that it may not be a good diagnosis for Marshall. He also is the primary return specialist for the Ducks.
Teams aren’t quick to talk injuries in most cases, but as of recently Oregon is becoming more lenient with season-ending ones. In his first full season in the role, he put up a few great stats: a team-leading 74 receptions for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns.
Since Marshall has played in just four games, it is possible he could seek a medical redshirt.
