Jamari Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - Oregon Ducks

Out vs. Oklahoma State Johnson (undisclosed) is out for Oregon's tilt with Oklahoma State, per Zachary Neel of Ducks Wire.

Impact Johnson was part of warmups for the Ducks, so it's unclear why the tight end is out against the Cowboys. He reeled in four catches for 57 yards and a score in the season-opening win against Boise State, but in his stead, Andrew Olesh will draw the start.

Out for remainder of 2024 Johnson is out for the remainder of Louisville's 2024 season due to an ankle injury, Alexis Cubit of The Courier Journal reports.

Impact Johnson being out for the remainder of 2024 means Louisville's team will be without one of its top-two tight ends across the year thus far. The other is Mark Redman, who is easily expected to be Louisville's top guy at that position. Duane Martin, Nate Kurisky, Izayah Cummings and Jaleel Skinner are all candidates who could receive increased snaps at the position while Johnson sits out.
