Oregon RB CJ Verdell out for season with leg injury

Oregon running back CJ Verdell will miss the rest of the 2021 college football season due to a leg injury, Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal announced Thursday.

Verdell suffered the injury during Saturday’s overtime loss to Stanford, and finishes his 2021 campaign with 406 rushing yards on 78 carries, with six touchdowns.

The 5-8, 211-pound junior will now face a decision as to whether he will return for his senior season, or enter the 2022 NFL draft as one of the better running back prospects in the class.
