Dan Lanning offers injury updates on Jahlil Florence, Dave Iuli midway through fall camp

In just seven days, the Oregon Ducks football team can say it’s officially game week.

Oregon is halfway through its four-week fall camp as the Ducks prepare for the 2024 season and they are thankful that the roster is becoming more healthy instead of the alternative.

Head coach Dan Lanning addressed the media after the team’s second scrimmage and gave the media some injury updates on a couple of key players.

Cornerback Jahlil Florence is nursing a leg injury and hasn’t seen the field as of yet in camp, but he’s closer to returning for the Ducks.

“He’s not there yet. You know, still conservative on what we’re letting him do,” Lanning said of Florence. “He’s still going to be aggressive with his rehab and put him in a position where he can go out there and do more for us. But right now, he’s not available.”

This is where the depth chart comes in and in years past, the Ducks would be in trouble if they had a talented corner go down such as Florence. But with the likes of Jabbar Muhammad on the roster, Oregon can withstand the loss and make sure Florence is at 100 percent before putting him in the mix.

The same can be said of offensive lineman Dave Iuli, who is attempting to return to the team after a tow ailment. From the sounds of it, Iuli is much closer to returning than Florence is.

“He’s closer. He’s closer. What does that look like? He hasn’t been full go yet,” Lanning said. “So we’ll see if we can get him in there before the season kicks off.”
