Oregon Ducks quarterback Dante Moore took part in the team’s practice on Monday, marking his first on‑field activity since sustaining a concussion two weeks earlier in the game against USC, coach Dan Lanning said.

The injury occurred during Oregon’s contest with the University of Southern California, where Moore was knocked out after a hard hit. Medical staff cleared him to resume light activity, and he was cleared to join the practice session on Monday.

Lanning confirmed Moore’s participation, noting that the quarterback appeared “in good spirits” and was able to run through the drills without any lingering symptoms. The coach emphasized that the team will continue to monitor Moore’s health closely in the days ahead.

Despite his return to practice, Moore’s availability for Oregon’s upcoming clash with the UCLA Bruins remains undecided. The coaching staff has not yet announced whether he will start or be held out as a precaution.

The Ducks are preparing for the Bruins matchup while evaluating Moore’s readiness, aiming to balance competitive urgency with player safety as the season progresses.
