Oregon football head coach Dan Lanning is not sharing much about senior receiver Tez Johnson's injury status.

Johnson, who led Oregon with 86 catches a season ago, was knocked out of the Ducks' 38-17 win over Michigan with an injury to his right shoulder on Nov. 2. Even after missing almost three games, Johnson leads Oregon in both receptions and receiving yards this fall, making him a key piece for the nation's top-ranked team.

The Oregon Ducks are in the driver’s seat for not just the Big Ten but also the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoffs. In Week 12, however, it appears they’ll once again be without star WR Tez Johnson following the latest injury update from Eugene.

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 football coach Dan Lanning gave an update on Tez Johnson after he was injured in the Ducks’ game at Michigan. Here's what Lanning said.

Johnson went down with a shoulder injury on November 2 against the Michigan Wolverines, and was seen sporting a sling on his right arm in the weeks after.

Oregon Ducks wide receiver Tez Johnson announced on his Instagram story that he would be returning from his injury during Oregon's bye week.
