Moore, who suffered a concussion and had to be taken off the field in an ambulance in the first half of the Ducks' Sept. 26 game against USC, was officially listed as "out" on Oregon's Big Ten-mandated availability report that was released Wednesday.
He isn't the only player who won't suit up for the No. 13 Ducks (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) when they play the No. 22 Bruins (4-0, 2-0) at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Autzen Stadium.
Wide receivers Jeremiah McClellan and Jack Ressler, offensive lineman Trent Ferguson, inside linebacker Brayden Platt, and running back Simeon Price were also listed as out.
Oregon's secondary depth also could be thin on Saturday as starting safety Aaron Flowers and reserve cornerback Aaron Scott Jr. were both listed as doubtful.

With Moore out, the Ducks will turn to Dylan Raiola, a former 23-game starter at Nebraska who had an impressive outing against the Trojans when Moore got hurt. Raiola threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns on 19-of-25 passing in the USC win.
There will be three more availability reports before kickoff – 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 10:30 a.m. Saturday.
Oregon football availability report ahead of USC game
- Tony Cumberland – The four-star freshman defensive tackle from Eugene's Willamette High School was injured in an offseason car accident and remains out. "It's a work in progress with him," Oregon defensive line coach Tony Tuioti said Aug. 17. "I don't think it's going to be anything that we'll be able to see him soon. But he's made so much progress. I think the thing that's most important is that we have him with us and just having him in the room brings a smile to all our faces."
- Trent Ferguson – The junior left guard is out for the season with a knee injury suffered against Oklahoma State during his first career start.
- Aaron Flowers – The starting safety spent some time in the injury team two weeks ago against USC and has been listed as doubtful on this week's injury report.
- Dillon Gresham – The junior wide receiver isn't expected to play any time soon, if ever again, after a season-ending neck injury in August 2025. While still on the roster, Lanning has said Gresham's football future remains in doubt. "There's not really a clear indication that Dillon's going to be able to help us here in the future," Lanning said Aug. 6. "He'll be a part of our team. But from a medical standpoint, I don't know if that's clear that he'd be able to."
- Jalen Lott – The five-star freshman wide receiver who has missed all season recovering from a hand injury, isn't on the injury report for the first time this season.
- Jeremiah McClellan – The starting wide receiver broke his foot during pregame warmups last Saturday and is out indefinitely.
- Dante Moore – The starting quarterback was listed as out on Wednesday's availability report. Moore suffered a concussion in the first half of the USC game Sept. 26.
- Brayden Platt – Lanning announced after the first week of fall camp that the junior inside linebacker was going to miss time with an undisclosed injury and wouldn't put a timetable on his return.
- Simeon Price – The fifth-year transfer running back from Colorado has missed all three games so far this season for unknown reasons, but was seen in a boot on the sideline against Portland State.
- Jack Ressler – The junior wide receiver is listed as out this week.
- Aaron Scott Jr. – The cornerback hasn't played much this season but he is listed as doubtful for the UCLA game.
- Carl Williams IV – The starting defensive back was taken off the availability report Friday before the USC game but didn't play against the Trojans. He left the game against Oklahoma State after attempting to tackle Cowboys' QB Drew Mestemaker on a fourth-quarter touchdown run. Williams struggled to walk off the field even with the help of trainers and didn't play against Portland State.
