Oregon quarterback Dante Moore sustained a concussion after being hit while sliding during the second quarter of Saturday's game against USC, head coach Dan Lanning announced Sunday, according to ESPN.
The Ducks went on to win the game 41-27, but the injury to their starting quarterback is likely to raise questions about his availability heading into the team's next matchup. Lanning's announcement came a day after the game, as the program assessed Moore's condition.
Concussion protocols in college football typically require players to be cleared through a multi-step evaluation process before returning to game action, meaning Moore's status for Oregon's coming games may not be resolved immediately.
Oregon has not yet indicated who would start at quarterback if Moore is unavailable. Further updates on his recovery are expected as the team approaches its next game.
