Football Practice Report: Sept. 4

Related Topics: Cam McCormick, Odell Beckham Jr.

Venue: Outdoor practice fields
Format: Full pads

The Oregon football team devotes a sizable chunk of its playbook to schemes involving three wide receivers, and the Ducks have utilized multiple running backs at times in recent seasons.

Given the injury last week to starting tight end Cam McCormick, conventional wisdom might have suggested that, moving forward, those personnel groupings would play more prominent roles. But after spending much of the preseason working on packages that use multiple tight ends, the Ducks opened practice Tuesday in a set using two of them, a reflection of the team's depth even in the wake of McCormick's injury.
