EUGENE -- Austin Faoliu's day off from practice Wednesday was "planned maintenance," according to Oregon coach Mario Cristobal, and the Ducks defensive end is not expected to have any issues against Washington State.
"He did what he had to do with us in practice and then stepped him out for a little bit," Cristobal said. "We don't foresee any issues with him."
After missing the game at Cal with a leg injury, Faoliu, who has 19 tackles with a sack this season, returned last week and made four tackles with .5 for loss against Washington.
