Oregon star Tez Johnson hints at return from injury in Instagram post

It seems that Oregon Football’s top receiver is back from injury.

Tez Johnson, who suffered a shoulder injury Nov. 2 against Michigan, posted a photo on his Instagram story early Tuesday morning as he danced around Autzen Stadium with the caption: “He’ssssssssssss backkkkkkkkkkk!!”

It’s unclear if this just means a return to full practice for Johnson or is an indication that he will play for the Ducks against Washington on Nov. 30. Dan Lanning and the Ducks have yet to provide a specific update on Johnson’s recovery. .

But with plenty of time to recover during Oregon’s bye week and before the game against the Huskies, it appears that Johnson’s return to the field is imminent. The game in Washington is senior night for Oregon as well, giving the Ducks a chance to finish the regular season undefeated and secure a spot in the Big Ten championship game.

Despite missing nearly all of Michigan’s games and Oregon’s matchups against Maryland and Wisconsin, Johnson still leads the Ducks with 64 receptions, 649 yards and eight touchdowns. Heisman contender Dillon Gabriel will be relieved to get his top target back after a struggle for Oregon’s passing game against Maryland and on the road at Wisconsin.
