Joe Moorhead underwent surgery to treat an undisclosed, non-COVID related illness, according to a tweet from The Oregonian's John Canzano on Monday.
Moorhead missed the Ducks' game with Stanford, a 31-24 overtime loss for the No. 3 team in the country at that time. Running backs coach and run game coordinator Jim Mastro called the plays in Moorhead's stead.
"Joe Moorhead this morning, non-COVID illness that happened really early this morning, and so he was not available," Mario Cristobal said after the game.
Oregon (4-1, 1-1 Pac-12) is off this week before hosting Cal on Friday, Oct. 15.
Update on Oregon offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead… he remains in the Bay Area and is resting in the hospital.

Moorhead had surgery on Saturday, I’m told. His issue was termed “non-COVID related” by UO. Will update when I know more.
