Freshman wide receiver Mycah Pittman could miss 6-8 weeks with a shoulder injury suffered during Oregon’s intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday.
The 11th-ranked Ducks expected Pittman to be part of their core rotation at the position and possibly start for a team striving to replace Dillon Mitchell.
“Mycah suffered a shoulder injury while making a diving catch during Saturday’s scrimmage that will result in him missing the start of the 2019 season,” head coach Mario Cristobal said in a statement. “He is a relentless competitor who will come back stronger and ready to compete this season.”
Pittman is the latest Oregon receiver to fall, joining two players sidelined with foot injuries for the opener against No. 16 Auburn and beyond. Brenden Schooler could be out for another month after undergoing surgery, and freshman JR Waters is likely on a similar schedule.
