Oregon coach Dan Lanning gave positive updates this week regarding the recovery of starting right guard Bedford, a key offensive lineman to protect quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Bedford has been out the first two weeks but on Wednesday, coach Lanning said, "I'm confident he could" play against the Beavers.

“Everybody in that room is still hungry,” Oregon offensive lineman Nishad Strother said. “Everybody wants to play, and everybody has that goal to play... Obviously there's a lot of stuff changing. So, you know, just put your best foot forward every day, and then we'll see what happens.”

Another big update, Oregon receiver Evan Stewart did not practice fully on Tuesday according to reports. However, on Wednesday Stewart was back fully and worked with the punt returners.
