A closer look at Penei Sewell's ankle injury and the Oregon Ducks lineman's prospects for return

That looked like it hurt.

In the game against the Washington Huskies on Saturday, Oregon Ducks offensive left tackle Penei Sewell injured his right ankle when it was caught under a falling UW lineman. This was a significant blow to the Ducks, as Sewell is ranked the No. 6 tackle in the nation and first true freshman to start in a season opener as part of the offensive line since 1997. The Ducks are calling his injury a "high ankle sprain" and will likely have him sidelined until December, although an earlier return is possible depending on several factors.
