Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

I mentioned this in the game thread but thought it deserved its on thread. On the 247 forum someone said that Burch was badly injured and that he was carted off the practice field yesterday, Jhop came in later and said per an insider being carted off was an exaggeration but he was injured and held out of practice for “precautionary” reasons. I have no idea if he’s injured or not but Burch might be the worst player to have injured, either him or Gabriel. Let’s hope it’s all fake internet rumors! If he did get injured in a Thursday practice before the biggest game of the season, that would be about the worst luck imaginable, but this is Oregon sports and we are used to this type of bad luck.

No way if true!

I believe Oregon will win this game if Burch plays like he has over the past two games and Gabriel doesn't make dumb mistakes. Obviously, Burch being out would significantly change my prediction.

That said... remember that KT was injured when we beat Ohio State at the Shoe. So... anything's possible.

GameDay just said that Burch is still questionable.

If they're releasing that he's questionable, great chance he's a no go.

Agreed. I’m just wondering how Burch gets injured during a walk through practice, what awful luck. I’m just hoping it isn’t long term.

Yikes… Burch is such a difference maker. Even if he is a go, a hobbled Burch is a major hit. Brutal.

Yahoo sports is reporting that sources are telling them that Burch will be out 4-6 weeks.

Injuries suck especially when our season could be a couple games longer than normal.

This reminds me of Ifo’s injury, non-contact drill, it just really really sucks to see this sort of incredibly unlucky injury yet again to Oregon’s best defensive player in a promising season.

Silver lining is he's probably back before the playoff. Downside obviously is we're much more likely to lose today and won't have much room for error going forward.

Injury report officially given to B10

With Oregon now beating the Buckeyes twice in a row without their best pass rusher, that might be a new tradition to ensure a win.

Not sure if this matters, but...

Dan obviously doesn't like to talk about injuries.

So, I found it **possibly** a little interesting he mentioned in the post game press conference there was hope Burch might play early in the day, and that eventually he was held out as a precaution.

Might be reading too much into it (and it is just advanced coaching gamesmanship); but, if was a for sure 4 week kind of thing, it would seem a bit strange to go ahead and phrase it this way?

I imagine even if doing much better he sits out Purdue Friday; but, possibly some confirmation it might not be a 4 week (or greater) kind of deal?
