ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Top-ranked Oregon lost No. 1 receiver and punt returner Tez Johnson with an apparent shoulder injury in the first quarter against Michigan. Johnson had a 21-yard punt return. On the Ducks' second snap, he caught an 11-yard pass and landed on his right shoulder. He returned to the sideline out of uniform with his right shoulder in a sling. Ryan Pellum replaced him when Michigan punted for a second time and fumbled, giving the Wolverines a short field to set up a tying touchdown. Johnson leads the Ducks and is among NCAA leaders with 64 receptions.
