I am very thankful no further damage was inflicted upon this wonderful young man. Our prayers are with you Dante! 🙏

Major update on the star Oregon QB after a scary moment on Saturday night

Oregon star quarterback Dante Moore suffered a concussion on Saturday against USC, sources tell CBS Sports.

Moore, per sources, is believed to have avoided any further injury outside of the concussion. 

He will go through concussion protocol and there is no immediate timeline for his return.

Moore left the game in the second quarter of Oregon's 41-27 win over USC after suffering a terrifying hit, which led to the ejection of Trojans linebacker Desman Stephens.

The game was stopped for several minutes after Moore's injury. He was carted off the field, put in an ambulance and taken to a local hospital.

After the game, Oregon head coach Dan Lanning provided this update on Moore.

"He's in recovery, so I don't want to speak too soon, but he's moving; he has the ability to move," Oregon coach Dan Lanning said after the game. "So, we'll continue to assess him, but I don't want to speak too soon, but he's moving."

Praying for a speedy recovery for Dante!!

Although it's early in the process, I'm definitely feeling some relief for Dante with the updated news we are receiving.

Although Dante suffered a mild traumatic brain injury, which is what a concussion is, clearly, the CT scan showed no visible bleeding or other abnormalitis... or there would have been no way he would have been cleared to fly home with the team. So, this is very encouraging news.

I'm assuming, and hoping, that today in Eugene they are running a MRI brain scan, which will provide more detailed imaging of the brain that a CT does not show... along with them hopefully running Dante through a battery of other tests.

And hopefully, Dante will bounce back soon, but for his long-term sake, I sure hope that they do not rush him, or that he does not rush himself. That's about the last thing a person with a significant concussion needs to have happen.

Dante Moore Concussion Update: Oregon QB Clear of Further Injury After USC Hit

Oregon coach Dan Lanning says Dante Moore's MRI and CT scans came back clean after the QB left Saturday's USC win on a cart.

Clean Scans After a Scary Scene

“Dante sustained a concussion in Saturday night’s game but fortunately his MRI and CT scans came back clean and he did not suffer any additional injuries,” Lanning said in the statement, as reported by the Associated Press. Moore had been on the ground for several minutes and wore a neck brace as he was carted off, but the update rules out any structural injury beyond the concussion itself.

Oregon did not immediately provide a timetable for Moore’s return. Concussion protocols vary by case, and the senior quarterback’s next step will hinge on how he progresses through the required evaluation stages before he’s cleared to practice or play again.
