USC Injury Report: Trojans, Ducks Both Banged-Up Heading Into Pac-12 Showdown
Your 7-3 USC Trojans may be out of the running for the College Football Playoffs already, but they still have plenty to play for beyond just pride.
The Cardinal and Gold could conceivably still compete in a bowl game or the Pac-12 Championship game, but they'll need to more or less win out to get there. First up on their agenda is working on an upset tonight against the 8-1 Oregon Ducks, a superior Pac-12 opponent.
But who will be available to suit up tonight?
Beyond safety Zachariah Branch (knee) and defensive lineman Korey Foreman (undisclosed), both of whom are definitively unavailable, several banged-up players may be able to play in basically a must-win scenario this evening. Per Covers.com, running back Marshawn Lloyd is probable to play, while wide receivers Makai Lemon and Michael Jackson III, plus cornerback Jacobe Covington are all questionable. All players are dealing with undisclosed issues.
On the Oregon front, four Ducks will be sidelined. Running back Mar'Keise Irving, kicker Andrew Boyle, and wide receiver Josh Delgado are all dealing with undisclosed issues. Boyle and Delgado are sidelined indefinitely, while Irving is questionable. Running back Noah Whittington is done for the season with a foot injury.
