Oregon RB Jordon Davison Reportedly Has Collarbone Injury, Could Miss Opener

The Oregon Ducks could be without an integral part of their offense to open the 2026 college football season.

Running back Jordon Davison suffered a collarbone injury at fall camp and could miss six-to-eight weeks, 247Sports reported on Wednesday afternoon, basing that on the injury being a potential re-break of a previous injury — Davison missed the Ducks' College Football Playoff semifinal round loss to the Indiana Hoosiers last season due to a broken collarbone.

There's initial hope among the Ducks that Davison could return sooner than the aforementioned timeline, though.

Davison, a then-true freshman, rushed for 667 yards and 15 touchdowns — which led the Ducks and was tied for second in the Big Ten — on 5.9 yards per carry in 2025.

He rushed for a score in 10 of the 14 games he played.

With 2025 lead back Noah Whittington off to the NFL, Davison projects to be part of a lethal one-two running-back punch for Oregon with fellow sophomore Dierre Hill Jr., who rushed for 656 yards and five touchdowns on 8.7 yards per carry last year.

The Ducks were second in the Big Ten in total yards (452.2 per game) and points (36.9 per game), third in rushing yards (198.6 per game) and fifth in passing yards (253.6 per game) in 2025.

Their offense returns junior quarterback Dante Moore, who would've potentially been a top-10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft had he declared.

Oregon opens the 2026 season at home against the Boise State Broncos on Sept.
