(Eugene, OR)  --  Ducks senior starting running back Royce Freeman returned to practice Wednesday.  He left the victory over California last Saturday with a shoulder injury.  He could play against Washington State.  Coach Willie Taggart remained mum on whether fifth year senior Taylor Albie or true freshman Braxton Burmeister would start at quarterback against the Cougars.  Starting QB Justin Herbert is out for several weeks with a fractured collarbone.
