Jordan Burch injury update: Ducks DE status revealed on final Oregon-Ohio State injury report

Oregon defensive end Jordan Burch will be a game-time decision for Saturday’s game against Ohio State, it was revealed on the injury report. Burch suffered a lower-body injury in practice this week and will apparently test things out in the pregame before making the call on his status for the top five matchup.

So far this season, Burch has 19 total tackles, seven solo tackles, five sacks (a career high), seven tackles for loss, four pass deflections and one fumble recovery. You can view the full injury report for the game between the Ducks and Buckeyes below.

As a member of the Class of 2020, Burch was a five-star-plus recruit out of Columbia (S.C.) Hammond School, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 1 overall prospect in the state, the No. 1 EDGE in the class and the No. 11 overall prospect in the class.

It’s safe to say that a lot hinges on this late injury news as Burch is one of the key cogs for the defense. Oregon enters the game ranked No. 10 in total defense and No. 21 in scoring defense.

Burch is the lone name to watch for ahead of kickoff for both teams, as Oregon has also already ruled out eight other players. If he’s unable to go, the Ducks could potentially look to Matayo Uiagalelei and Ashton Porter to step up.

Kickoff for the contest between Oregon and Ohio State is set for 7:30 p.m. ET in Eugene.
