Dante Moore Injury Update, Latest News on Oregon QB's Status vs. Nebraska Amid Concussion

No. 13 Oregon once again will be without starting quarterback Dante Moore for Saturday's matchup against Nebraska.

Moore has been ruled out as he continues his recovery from a concussion. Dylan Raiola, Brock Thomas and Akili Smith Jr. have all received reps at practice this week, per On3's Pete Nakos.

No decision has been made as to who will start against Nebraska.

Raiola started last weekend's 17-15 loss to No. 12 UCLA and completed just six-of-19 passes for 43 yards and two interceptions before being benched in favor of Thomas.

Thomas finished the loss having completed 11-of-15 passes for 156 yards and one touchdown.

Moore sustained an illegal hit in Oregon's Week 4 matchup against USC and was stretchered off the field in a scary moment. Head coach Dan Lanning announced after the Ducks' 41-27 win over the Trojans that Moore was diagnosed with a concussion, and his MRI and CT scan didn't reveal any other injuries.

Last week, Lanning revealed that Moore had returned to practice, but noted his status was uncertain as the team is prioritizing his long-term health.

"He was wearing a helmet and shoulder pads today and was out there throwing a football," Lanning said Monday. "It was great to see him back out there with his teammates and able to get a little work in today."

Raiola, who starred at Nebraska before transferring to Oregon this past offseason, impressed with 289 yards and two touchdowns against USC. Lanning expressed confidence in him continuing to lead the Ducks while Moore recovers.

"Dylan's got to keep doing what he's been doing," Lanning said Monday. "Preparing like he's going to be the guy that goes out there every single day. We need that from every single person on our team. We don't need anything special from Dylan, other than doing what he's been doing."

That said, Lanning made those comments prior to Raiola struggling against UCLA, so it's possible the starting job is anyone's at this point until Moore returns.
