Mario Cristobal announced late on Monday that true freshman receiver, Mycah Pittman, sustained a shoulder injury while diving to make a catch during Saturday’s practice. The expected timeline for the injury is six-to-eight weeks of recovery, so there is a collective belief that the electric young receiver will be back somewhere around early October, with most of the Pac-12 schedule still ahead of him.
Now, I don’t see any reason to be alarmist about this injury. The Ducks will most likely be totally fine at Pittman’s slot position. Jaylon Redd was already projected as the starter, and even with the injury to Brendon Schooler a few weeks ago, we hear that Josh Delgado (another freshman) has also really showed out during the Spring and Fall practices.
