Original Story: A potentially impactful injury has hit the Oregon Ducks<\/a> in fall camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to multiple sources close to the program, starting running back Jordon Davison has suffered an injury this past week that is expected to hold him out for the next 6-8 weeks, lasting throughout the remainder of camp and into the regular season.\u00a0<\/p>\n Davison, who rushed for 667 yards and 15 touchdowns as a true freshman last year, missed Oregon\u2019s final game of the year in the College Football Playoff Semifinal against the Indiana Hoosiers<\/a> after suffering a broken collarbone in the Orange Bowl win over Texas Tech<\/a>. Davison rushed for 42 yards and two touchdowns in that game, despite reportedly suffering the injury early in the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n Without Davison in the lineup for the start of the season, the onus will be on the rest of the Oregon RB room to step up and produce. Fortunately, the Ducks are in a favorable position here, as they have guys like Dierre Hill, Simeon Price, Da\u2019Jaun Riggs, Tradarian Ball, and Brandon Smith all capable of shouldering a bigger load.\u00a0<\/p>\n Need a news break?
