Portland failed to overcome mounting injuries in 2016 as it finished in seventh place in the Western Conference standings and missed playoffs by one point. The Timbers then managed to start their top lineup just three times in 2017 due to injuries, but persevered to earn the top spot in the West. Still, Portland's season was cut short after it suffered six key injuries in the span of two weeks and fell to the Houston Dynamo in the Western Conference semifinals.
