01 · The NewsWhat Happened
Logan Brown of Ducks Wire reports that USC defensive tackle Jahkeem Stewart is expected to miss the Trojans’ opening games because of an injury. Stewart is identified as one of USC’s defensive stars. The news matters most because USC is scheduled to face Oregon in Week 4. USC hasn’t announced Stewart’s diagnosis, a return date or the number of games he could miss. The report also doesn’t identify who would replace him in the lineup. That leaves the Oregon impact tied to a timeline nobody has publicly established yet.
