Observations from Oregon's 12th fall practice: Ducks missing several starters

Oregon has reached the midway point of fall camp and was back on the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex outdoor fields Wednesday after practicing indoors on Tuesday due to poor air quality in Eugene. With temperatures nearing 100 degrees, Lane County is still covered by a smoky haze due to nearby wildfires. The first 15 minutes of Wednesday's practice were open to reporters and photographers and included stretching and warmups, special teams work, and position-specific drills. Here are a few notes and observations from that period.
