WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Oregon tight end Terrance Ferguson missed Friday’s game at Purdue due to having an appendectomy earlier this week, but is expected back in the near future.
Ducks coach Dan Lanning said Ferguson, who has 20 catches for 321 yards this season, had surgery earlier this week.
“We’re expecting a quick recovery based on what that looks like for him and being smart with him,” Lanning said after Oregon’s 35-0 win at Ross-Ade Stadium. “But if it was up to him I promise you he would have been on that field today even with some stitches in his side. I think he’ll be back relatively quick but we want to do what’s best for Terrance.
“He’s a tough kid; this guy’s played with a lot of injuries — this is not one that you can really go play with when you have your appendix removed.”
