Oregon QB Justin Herbert could return from broken collarbone to start vs. Huskies

Herbert practiced with Oregon's No. 1 offense on Wednesday.

Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert, out for the past month with a fractured collarbone in his left (nonthrowing) arm, practice with the first-team offense on Wednesday.

First-year Oregon coach Willie Taggart hasn’t said anything definitive about Herbert’s status for Saturday’s game at No. 12 Washington, but it certainly sounds possible Herbert could play.

“The doctors told us where he is and Justin told us how he’s feeling,” Taggart told reporters in Eugene on Wednesday. “He goes out in practice and is performing really well. If you saw practice yesterday, you’d have said ‘OK, he’s ready,’ but as I said the other day, we are not going to put him out there unless he is healed and ready to go.
