Availability continues to be a questionable ability for the Oregon Ducks.
Whether it's due to injuries or other factors, a number of top players are expected to miss Saturday's game on the road against the Illinois Fighting Illini, leaving the Ducks' offense, in particular, incredibly thin ahead of a must-win game with College Football Playoff hopes resting in the balance.
We have known since Wednesday that players like QB Dante Moore, WR Evan Stewart, WR Jeremiah McClellan, and DL Matthew Johnson would be out for this game, but Friday's availability report added a couple of key names to the list of sidelined players: WR Jalen Lott, and WR Messiah Hampton.
Now, Oregon will have just one of its top five receivers available for this game against a well-coached Illinois team.
Over the past few days, we have been tracking injuries for both teams and working to figure out who is going to be playing and who is going to be held out. Over the past three nights, availability reports have been released by the Big Ten Conference, showing which players are out, questionable to play, doubtful to play, and probable.
Now, two hours before kickoff, we get our final availability report, with all of those players either listed as out or game-time decisions. For the latter section, we will be watching throughout warmups to see what their status may be.
Here's a look at the final availability report for Oregon vs. Illinois.
