Oregon will be without nose tackle Taki Taimani against Cal.
Taimani, who suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of last week’s win over the UCLA Bruins and didn’t practice on Tuesday or Wednesday, is not with the No. 8 Ducks (6-1, 4-0 Pac-12) during pregame warmups at California Memorial Stadium.
The fifth-year junior has seven tackles with 0.5 for loss and a pass breakup this season.
Freshman defense tackle Ben Roberts traveled in addition to the players on the two-deep.
