Thomas did not return to the game and is on crutches on the sideline.

Any significant time missed for Thomas would be a big deal because of his versatility and explosiveness. Then again, Oregon seems to have a factory that produces sensational tailbacks.

The Thomas injury has been just about the only thing to go wrong for the Ducks, who lead the Bears 55-3.
