The Oregon running back room is banged up in spring football. Sean Dollars has a leg injury that will force him to miss all of spring football as well as fall camp, with Mario Cristobal targeting a return "During the season at some point."

Trey Benson is recovering from a broken leg and is not expected back until the summer. In their absence the Ducks have been experimenting with wide receiver Tevin Jeannis and walk-ons Cross Patton and Aaron Smith.

Travis Dye met with the media on Tuesday following Oregon's sixth spring practice to talk about the 2021 season and the running backs' progress in spring ball.
