Oregon quarterback Dante Moore ruled out for rest of season

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 11:44 · Archive

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore will not play again this season after suffering a concussion in late September during a game against Southern California, coach Dan Lanning announced on Monday. Moore has not appeared in a game since the injury but resumed practising earlier this month whilst remaining in the concussion protocol.

Lanning said the medical team has not cleared Moore for return to live action, though he can participate in controlled practice settings. 'I'm not anticipating him being back, no,' Lanning said during his weekly news conference. Moore threw for 926 yards and nine touchdowns with no interceptions in the four games he played this season.

Lanning emphasised that a full recovery from the concussion is expected and that the decision to keep Moore sidelined was not the player's preference. 'I think if it was up to Dante in any shape, way, he would want to be out there playing for the guys. But unfortunately, it's not really up to Dante. It's not really up to me,' Lanning said. He declined to speculate about whether Moore might return to the university next season, saying 'We'd love to have Dante out there.'
