Washington Injury Rocks Oregon Defense | Oregon Ducks Football News

Oregon’s defense took a major blow when star senior defensive tackle AMauri Washington exited in the second quarter with an injury, adding to their woes after already losing tight end Jamari Johnson. Washington, a 330-pound All-Big Ten anchor who returned for one final season, had battled through a prior fall camp injury and was pivotal on key plays — including a crucial third-down stop — before picking up an offsides penalty that helped Oklahoma State. With the game already delayed by storms and Oregon trailing at halftime, the Ducks now face a daunting challenge to compensate without their cornerstone defender. His status remains uncertain as he walked off with trainers, leaving fans and coaches hoping for a return — but the pressure mounts as Oregon fights to win on the road.
