Injury updates for Oregon Ducks WR Tez Johnson

Tez Johnson, the Oregon Ducks' top wide receiver, suffered a potentially long-term injury in the first quarter of Oregon's Week 10 game against Michigan. After catching a short pass from Dillon Gabriel on the Ducks' first drive, Johnson was tackled out of bounds and landed hard on his right shoulder. Johnson stood up slowly before jogging back to the Oregon sideline, clutching his shoulder.

Update on Tez Johnson's injury

After spending a few minutes in the injury tent on the Oregon sideline, Johnson headed to the Oregon locker room midway through the first quarter. He remained in the locker room until about the 10-minute mark in the second quarter before returning to the sideline in street clothes.

How long will Johnson be out?

If Johnson comes to the Oregon sideline in street clothes and with a sling around his left arm, that's a clear indication that he won't be returning for this game. It's unclear what his long-term status is, but CBS sideline reporter Jenny Dell expressed concerns about Johnson's collarbone or a possible separated shoulder, which could be a sign of a longer-term injury.

If those are the two options, Duck fans will be hoping for the latter, which would have a significantly shorter recovery period on average. If it is a broken collarbone, the recovery time can be 8-12 weeks, if not longer. We'll wait to hear more from Dan Lanning after the game and on Monday night during his weekly press conference.
