EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon tight end Pharaoh Brown would rather look to the future than dwell on the past.Moving on from the leg injury that sidelined him all of last season, Brown is focused on making the most of his senior season. So far, so good.Brown scored on an 11-yard touchdown pass from new Ducks quarterback Dakota Prukop on Saturday in the second quarter of Oregons 44-26 victory over Virginia.It was a sweet play, he said afterward. The crowd was going crazy. Its great to score. Its been a long time.He finished with five catches for 55 yards, including a 21-yard reception.Brown has returned to the starting lineup for the No. 22 Ducks this season for the first time since his horrific leg injury during a game at Utah in November 2014. He stepped on the foot of a teammate in a goal-line play. Propelled forward, he came down awkwardly and his knee gave way.Television wouldnt replay the injury, a sign that it was bad. But even when Brown awoke in severe pain as the ambulance rushed to the hospital, he had no idea.Later he learned he faced amputation because the blood flow to his lower leg had been cut off. In all, he faced three surgeries and there were concerns hed have trouble walking again -- forget about football.Browns injury came just as he was emerging. He had 25 catches for 420 yards and six touchdowns in 2014, including a TD catch in the game against the Utes before the fourth-quarter injury. It was the most receiving yards at the position in three seasons.The Ducks would go on that year to play in the first College Football Playoff, losing in the title game to Ohio State. Quarterback Marcus Mariota won the Heisman Trophy that season. Brown himself was named to the Pac-12 first team.Now hes part of a Ducks offense that looks to have adjusted well to Prukop so far this season.The graduate transfer quarterback threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns against the Cavaliers. Royce Freeman rushed for 207 yards and three touchdowns, including an 85-yard scoring run, and Olympian Devon Allen caught four passes for 141 yards and a TD.I think were getting better each week. We made strides from where we were last weekend. Thats what its all about, he said. I think if we can just keep getting the ball to playmakers like that, the skys the limit.Next up for the Ducks (2-0) is Nebraska on Saturday at Memorial Stadium, Oregons biggest challenge in the non-conference season.Browns contribution is -- and will be -- key for the Ducks, who have already been hit by injuries at tight end.Johnny Mundt, who had a touchdown in the opener, missed the Virginia game and was seen wearing a knee brace. Fellow tight end Evan Baylis has not played this season.Oregon does not comment on injuries, so theres no way of knowing when Mundt might return, but there were indications that Baylis could be ready for the Huskers, and he was listed behind Brown on the depth chart released Tuesday.Coach Mark Helfrich is aware of tasking Brown too much, too early.Well see how that turns out in the future. Thats one of those things you have to spell a guy like that because he did a lot in the run game, did a lot in the pass game and he needs to stay fresh for the long haul, Helfrich said.For his part, Brown doesnt want to field questions about the injury anymore. Hes put it firmly in the past as he looks to the future.This aint no feel good story, he proclaimed in an all-caps post on Instagram after his touchdown. Time away only made me better. This is a takeover.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Matt Cains first win in more than two months didnt come easily and it certainly wasnt enough to put to rest concerns about the back end of the Giants rotation.Hitting a three-run homer, though, had the three-time All-Star and former staff ace feeling a lot better about things.More importantly, it also helped jumpstart San Franciscos slumping offense.Cain pitched into the sixth inning after hitting his first home run in four years, and the Giants beat the Cincinnati Reds 9-7 on Tuesday night.Its just nice to go out there and be able to contribute, Cain said. It was a big win for us tonight and something that was definitely needed.Brandon Crawford had three hits and two RBI, and Buster Posey and Denard Span added two hits apiece for the Giants. San Francisco won for only the second time since the All-Star break.It had been longer than that for Cain.The right-hander failed to make it past the fourth inning in his three previous starts and wasnt much better against the Reds. He retired nine of his first 10 batters but quickly wore down and left with one out in the sixth after giving up the first of two homers by Adam Duvall.Cain (2-6) allowed four runs, struck out four and walked one to win for the first time since May 21.I had a couple of (pitches) toward the end that kind of ran out over the plate, but for the most part I did a better job of limiting mistakes, Cain said.Duvall added his second home run of the game in the eighth. Joey Votto and Jay Bruce also went deep for Cincinnati.The Giants broke out of their offensive funk with 13 hits and nine runs, the most by manager Bruce Bochys club in nearly a month.San Francisco scored four times in the second capped by Cains seventh career home run, his first since July 21, 2012.The Giants made it 5-0 in the third on Grant Greens fielders choice groundout with runners on the corners.

Weve been in a tough stretch.Reds starter Cody Reed (0-5) allowed six runs over five innings in his first career appearance against the Giants.We found our way back into the ballgame against their best guys, Cincinnati manager Bryan Price said. It was a good feeling to be able to come back and rally. It gave the guys a good sign.HOMERS HEALTHHomer Bailey rejoined the Reds before the game following his latest rehab outing in the minors and is likely to make his first major league start in more than 15 months Sunday when Cincinnati ends its six-game road trip in San Diego. Price said the team is monitoring the right-handers health after he threw 98 pitches for Triple-A Louisville on Monday. I think hes fine, I think hes conditioned, I think hes ready to pitch for us, but we wont announce and make that commitment until he gets through the next 48 hours, Price said. It could be Saturday, but the probability is its Sunday.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: 3B Ramiro Pena left with a bruised groin after taking a bad hop on pinch-hitter Ivan De Jesus grounder in the seventh.
