Wide receiver Evan Stewart bypassed the 2025 draft to return to Oregon for his senior season. Now, he might miss the season.
According to multiple reports, Stewart tore a patellar tendon this week. It is unknown how the knee injury occurred.
He was expected to be the Ducks’ No. 1 receiver after the departures of Tez Johnson and Traeshon Holden, with a chance to improve his draft stock for 2026. Now, he could have another decision to make about his future in January.
Stewart caught 48 passes for 613 yards and a career-high five touchdown receptions last season.
Stewart, a former five-star recruit, spent two seasons at Texas A&M before transferring to Oregon before the 2024 season. He has battled injuries in his career, playing only 31 games in three seasons.
Stewart caught 53 passes for 649 yards as a freshman with the Aggies, and he has 139 receptions for 1,776 yards and 11 touchdowns in his career.
