Oregon star Thibodeaux injured in season opener

NCAAF

Oregon star defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux was knocked out of Saturday’s game against Fresno State with an apparent lower leg injury.

ESPN NFL draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. listed Thibodeaux, a junior, as his No. 1 prospect, after he finished with 12 quarterback pressures last season.

Thibodeaux, an All-American last season, had a sack and a forced fumble in the first half against the Bulldogs, but did not come out with the rest of the team to begin the second half.

When he returned to the sideline, he was wearing street clothes and a walking boot.

Oregon will meet No. 4 Ohio State next Saturday in Columbus, Ohio.
