Kel'el Ware - Warming up pregame Ware (ankle) is going through warmups ahead of Monday's game against Florida A&M, James Crepea of The Oregonian reports.

Impact Ware is expected to play in Oregon's season opener despite turning his ankle in practice two weeks ago. The highly-touted freshman was seen in a walking boot Thursday, but his ability to participate in warmups should indicate he's fine heading into this matchup, and he could see extensive usage behind Nate Bittle and N'Faly Dante on Monday.

Rivaldo Soares - Expected to play Monday Soares (leg) is expected to be available for Monday's season opener against Florida A&M but will test the injury during shootaround, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact It sounds like Soares is trending in the right direction, so as long as he avoids any setbacks during shootaround, he should be available to play in Monday's opener. In 35 games last season, Soares averaged 4.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 18.2 minutes per contest.

Kel'el Ware - Should be available Monday Ware (ankle) should be available for Monday's game against Florida A&M, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Ware turned his ankle in practice last week and was seen in a walking boot Thursday, but he should be able to suit up to begin the regular season as long as he makes it through Monday's shootaround. Ware was a five-star prospect coming out of high school and could see some run for the Ducks early in his freshman season if Oregon builds up significant leads against non-conference opponents.

Jermaine Couisnard - Out for eight weeks Couisnard is expected to miss approximately eight weeks due to knee surgery, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Couisnard's timetable likely means that he will be eyeing a return in January. The senior forward averaged 12.0 points, 3.2 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 24.8 minutes across 26 games last season for South Carolina before transferring to Oregon. Quincy Guerrier is expected to start the season at small forward, with Ethan Butler (undisclosed) also out.

Rivaldo Soares - Game-time decision Monday Soares (leg) will be a game-time decision for Monday's season opener versus Florida A&M, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Soares missed Wednesday's practice due to a leg injury, and his status is up in the air for Monday's game. Last season, the six-foot-six guard averaged 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 18.2 minutes across 35 games. Soares's next opportunity to play will be next Friday versus UC Irvine if he can't play Monday.

Kel'el Ware - Status in doubt for opener Ware was seen in a walking boot Thursday after turning his ankle in practice earlier in the week and may not play in the opener Nov. 7, Matt Prehm of 247sports.com reports.

Impact Ware is reportedly wearing the walking boot as a precautionary measure, but his status for Monday's game remains up in the air. The seven-footer has a chance to play a role out of the gates, as his size allows him to accel in the post and as a shot blocker. His status will be worth monitoring heading into Monday, although any indication of his practice level over the weekend could be telling about his chances.

Ethan Butler - Will miss season opener Butler is set to miss the season opener against Florida A&M on Monday with an undisclosed injury, Matt Prehm of 247sports.com reports.

Impact Butler is in his first year with the Ducks and is expected to play more of a reserve role given the team's solid depths of wing players. It's certainly not out of the question for him to work his way into the rotation given his athleticism and ability to guard all five positions.
