A person with knowledge of the injury says Oregon cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu hurt a knee in practice this week and his status for the Ducks’ playoff game is uncertain.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the program does not discuss injuries.
Ekpre-Olomu, a first-team All-America selection, was injured in practice on Tuesday. Yahoo Sports was the first to report the injury.
Ekpre-Olomu is widely considered among the top cornerbacks in next year’s NFL draft. The senior was a Jim Thorpe Award finalist this season.
The injury is a blow for the No. 3 Ducks (12-1) as they prepare to face No. 2 Florida State (13-0) at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1.
