Johnson Out, Olesh Steps In | Oregon Ducks Football News

Oregon Ducks’ game against Oklahoma State hit a snag with a lightning delay, but the real story is Jamari Johnson’s unexpected absence — sidelined with an undisclosed injury, leaving transfer tight end Andrew Olesh to step in as starter. Johnson’s impact last season — over 500 yards and 3 TDs — looms large, especially since he warmed up before kickoff but didn’t dress. Olesh, a highly-touted recruit from Penn State, now gets his shot to shine. Oregon leads 7-3 thanks to Devon Jackson’s 96-yard interception return for a TD, though the offense has been sluggish early. With Big Ten play looming — starting with USC on Sept. 26 — official injury reports will be crucial, and Johnson’s status remains a major question mark heading into conference action.
