Oregon’s Teitum Tuioti Out for Season With Knee Injury

Oregon linebacker Teitum Tuioti will miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 41-28 win over Ohio State, coach Dan Lanning said on November 9. Tuioti is expected to have surgery, Lanning said, adding that the player would need time for the injury to settle before the procedure.

Lanning said Tuioti would be seen on crutches and praised his commitment to the team. He also said he was unsure whether Tuioti would have another opportunity to play for Oregon, but that a future team would be fortunate to have him.

Tuioti recorded 44 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 2025. He was also among the Oregon players who spoke with the media after each of the team’s three losses, the report said.

The Ducks are preparing to host Michigan at Autzen Stadium. Lanning described Michigan’s defense as among the strongest Oregon has faced this season and said the team had talent at multiple positions. He also noted that Michigan had recently changed offensive coordinators and had struggled on offense.

Oregon’s win over Ohio State included what Lanning called strong stretches of play, alongside areas that needed improvement. He said the team would review both its successful plays and its execution problems as it prepared for the next game.
