No. 8 Oregon suffered a disappointing loss Saturday against unranked Stanford, but the Ducks lost more than just the game.
Leading running back CJ Verdell was carted off with an injury in the third quarter against the Cardinal, and after Thursday's practice, Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal told reporters Verdell is out for the remainder of the season.
Verdell leads the Ducks with 78 carries for 406 yards and six rushing touchdowns. He also recorded a receiving touchdown this year.
Verdell is a redshirt junior after sitting out his freshman year. The California native burst onto the scene with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2018 and 2019.
