Oregon Ducks to be down top pass-catchers vs. Washington, per report

The injury woes have hit Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks hard over the past month, and they don't appear to be getting much better ahead of the final game of the regular season. According to a report from CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz, a pair of notable offensive starters are expected to miss Saturday's game against the Washington Huskies.

Zenitz reports that wide receivers Dakorien Moore and Gary Bryant Jr. are not expected to play on Saturday in the final game of the regular season. This will be the fourth-straight game that Moore misses after tweaking his knee in practice leading up to the Iowa Hawkeyes game. Meanwhile, Bryant injured his ankle in the first quarter of that Iowa game and has not played since.

Zenitz did not make note of offensive lineman Iapani Laloulu, who went down with a leg injury in the first half of last week's game against the USC Trojans and did not return.

The report from Zenitz also made no mention of wide receiver Evan Stewart, who has yet to play this year following a patellar tendon injury suffered earlier this summer. There have been hopes that Stewart could return to the field by the end of the regular season and ramp up for a playoff run, but it's expected that the elite pass-catcher will likely be out for this game on Saturday.

While Oregon's offense is banged up, the defense appears to be in good shape, with a majority of the starters healthy and ready to play on Saturday.
