It now seems reasonable to downgrade suspended Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount's status from questionable to doubtful for the Stanford game.
Ducks coach Chip Kelly still hasn't made a recommendation to the "chain of command," which is topped by Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott, who would then review his findings and render a final decision.
Blount continued to practice with the Ducks' scout team on Wednesday. Many coaches say an injured player needs to be full-go by Wednesday if he's going to play on Saturday, so it's unlikely that Blount will be worked into the game plan this weekend.
