Oregon WR Tez Johnson Set for Return to Action?
I don’t normally type a question mark in my headline but this one warranted it. On Tuesday Oregon wide receiver Tez Johnson posted on his Instagram a somewhat (non) cryptic message. It would indicate Johnson might very well return for Oregon’s next game and regular season finale with Washington.
Oregon’s passing game has missed Johnson. He remains Oregon’s receiving leader this season with 649 yards and 8 touchdowns. Evan Stewart has closed the gap in his absence however sitting at 609 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Dan Lanning has not met with media this week. The Ducks are on a bye so his usual Monday press conference did not happen this week. He’s expected to meet with media on Wednesday following practice. Which means there has been no official word from him or Oregon on Johnson’s return status.
However the Instagram post would certainly suggest a return in store for Oregon’s star receiver.
The Ducks host Washington in the season finale on Saturday, November 30. Kickoff has not been designated yet by the Big Ten conference. The three available slots for the game are 12:30, 4:00 and 4:30 PST.
